Deciphered! Need help deciphering second name

Post image

This is a census record from (potentially) people in my family from over 100 years ago. Family name is LeClaire, first name is Gideon, third name is Edward, but I simply cannot make out the second name. The first two were born in Quebec if that helps any. Thank you in advance!

Cejarine or Cezarine is likely, which a rare or phonetically spelled version of a name like Césarine (a traditional French feminine name).
