My friend is picking names... WDYT?

I posted asking for advice about my friend yesterday. She's due in October and is asking everyone for names. I read the list that Jaime posted in my subject to her yesterday night over the phone.
She called me up this morning and told me that these were the names that they had been talking about:

Sophie
Sarah
Lucy
Claire
Audrey
Carolina (with the nn Carrie)

WDYT? Siblings are Hannah and Elly.

Sophie - Very pretty, lots of Sophias about but not necessarily a deterrent
Sarah - Classic, timeless
Lucy - Not my favorite, but a fine name; maybe Lucia or Lucinda?
Claire - Nice, simple - I tend to prefer Clara, though
Audrey - Very nice; Audra and Audrina are also pretty
Carolina (with the nn Carrie) - Pronounced Car-o-LEE-na? If so, I like it quite a bit, but I prefer the whole name to Carrie (just a personal preference with this name); Carlotta is also nice, or Charlotte, of course

All of these names go well, in my opinion, with her other daughters' names.

Sophie- Prefer Sofia with nn Sophie and I think it goes well with the sib names.
Sarah- Would like this better as a mn with these sib names.
Lucy- Cute, but I don't like that it would make Hannah's name the odd man out, kwim?
Claire- LOVE it.
Audrey- Cute, this would be my second choice.
Carolina (with the nn Carrie)- Don't care for it with this sib set.

They're all great names and they'd all go well with the sibs.

I like Sophia/Sophie, it goes so well with Hannah and Elly.
I also like Audrey. Those are my two faves. Carolina is my third.
Hope she picks the name she feels is right! =)
