Townes is a strong name (I love it, by the way, big Townes van Zandt fan), and I think it takes another strong name to stand up to it -- that's why I chose Vivian. I think those two are a great match. :)

All are very pretty choices, though, and the middle name is great.

I have to say, I was expecting some more interesting choices after brothers Townes! None of the names on the list even compare, and many have a trendy feel.

Claire Eila Craven - a nice enough name, but a bit boring
Kate Eila Craven - way too common
Vivian Eila Craven - Like this, but dislike how it sounds with ln Craven, the -en repetition isn't the best
Paige Eila Craven - trendy
Chloe Eila Craven -trendy and cutesy

If you are up to suggestions, let me know. I just think you can do better!

most definitely up for suggestions :) fire away :) (I kind of like the idea of having a one syllable name to go w/Townes, but am totally open)

TIA!

Eila is stunning. I love it. It is certainly very strong and I love the family significance. Other names that could work with Townes...

Blythe

Brynn

Natalia

Nicola

Arlen

Isis

Iris

Mattea

Calla

Calista

Adelia

Hmm.. it is harder than it looks. Not knowing much about meaning/origin of Townes it is difficult to find something that matches. Perhaps if you ask some of the other ladies they will be able to give you some better ideas.
