Team green again and we basically only have the leftovers from our short lists from our last pregnancy. Help me with some other possibilities.
PDQ: DD’s name is Cora
Girl:
Margaret
Katherine (spelling with a K is from DH’s family, but I know it’s more typically C)
Boy:
Theodore
Benjamin
I’m torn with having a longer sibling name with our daughter’s name. The first names listed are probably the ones I would lean toward, but are they too dated?

I wouldn't do Cora and Katherine, personally. I don't see it as a problem having a longer name, though. I wouldn't do something long AND drastically stylistically different, but Cora and Theodore are both very classic and go well together. Other suggestions:
Alice Beatrix Daphne Eve Frances Georgiana Iris Isabelle Julia Johanna Lenore Lily Mira Marisa Matilda Marie Noelle Petra Philippa Rose Selah Tabitha Thea Violet Valerie Willa

I love Margaret. NN Meg would be so cute with you DD's name. If you're concerned it sounds too old-fashioned against your DD's name, which is also traditional but has a modern and peppy feel, I'd look into other forms or diminutives of Margaret/"pearl". There are so many beautiful ones!
Margot/Margeaux
Mae
Margalo
Marit (on my list!)
Marla
I'd also add Thea (gorgeous!) as a feminine form of Theodore.
Theodore and Benjamin are both so handsome and have great nn possibilities. If you're looking to take them a little more modern, I would consider:
Theo
Ben
Benedict
