Baby Names

Torn between 2 names - honest opinions wanted!

We're having a little girl this time around - yay! Our son's name is Liam Patrick and we are so torn between 2 names for our daughter. I need some honest objective opinions, please!

Option 1: Catherine Jane

Option 2: Claire Margaret

Thanks, ladies!

  • I like Claire the best of the two but not into the MN Margaret. The only reason I'd use such an old fashioned name is if its a family name. 
  • Catherine Jane all the way. Not only do I prefer those names to the other two, but I think it flows better.
  • Claire Margaret gets my vote!
  • Tough choice.  I like both names a lot!  

    Claire has a slightly more feminine feel to it.  Catherine is a little stronger.

  • I actually like Margaret Claire best, but yes, option 2 is better.

  • I prefer Claire over Catherine. It seems like most Catherines get shortened to Cathy or Katie, and I am so over both of those names. Claire is cute.

  • Both are great choices, but I love the name Catherine just a bit more. Liam and Cate pair nicely together, too. :)

    Wow it seems like so far it's totally split! If we went with Catherine we would call her by the whole name and not shorten or do a nn. I do like Cate though - definitely not Cathy or Katie!

  • I really like Claire Margaret .... that would be my vote.  It's a name that's cute on a little girl and classic on an adult. 

    Catherine Jane flows well, but I'm not a huge fan of the name Catherine.  I don't like the nn Cathy.&nbs

  • I like both names, but I'd probably go with Claire.

  • Claire!!!

  • My grandma was Catherine Jane but she went by Jane. My sister named her DD after her and she goes by Catherine, no NN, and she is now 8.

    I would have used it if she hadn't gotten to it first...

    So that gets my vote!

  • Definitely Carherine Jane. Love both names.

  • catherine jane flows better, but i like claire more than catherine.

    my vote is for claire since she probably won't use her middle name that often anyway.

  • I vote for option 1

  • I love Claire Margaret!
  • As the mom of  Katherine I vote for Catherine Jane.

    I also love Claire Margaret.  Claire was on our list had DS been a girl. 

    As for nicknames, our DD goes by Kate most of the time.  For the PP that mentioned Cathy, wha
