  • I know a couple of girls named Claire. One is maybe 26 years old and the other (a cousin) is about 18 months old. Lovely name! :)

  • There were 2 in a playgroup I went to. Both about 2 years old. My mom is a teacher and says there's about one Claire in every grade level.

    All the Claires I know of are adults, more or less. One lives down the street, in her 40's; sister of a neighbor, in her 30's; former tenant, college age, maybe early 20's or just 20.
    I feel like there may be a lot of people running around with Claire as a middle name. Is that just me? Not my middle name, just me feeling like that is the case. Like it was the "Anne" or "Marie" for some generation, the filler middle name.
  • Hmm weird... actually none! One of my fave girl names! Personally I looove the British spelling, Clare. Just seems so sweet to me.

  • I know a woman in her 30's named Claire. There also seems to be at least one Claire (under 5 years old) at the park, zoo, in every Gymboree class etc that we go to. I used to like it, but now I'm just sick of hearing it.

  • I know one, and she's about 7. It seems more popular as a MN right now
  • Two.  One is an adult in her early thirties and the other is a baby/toddler in DS's daycare class.

     I also know one adult with Claire as a middle name (funny enough her first name is Elizabeth).

  • I don't know any and I really like that name!

    I know two personally - my daughter, who is actually also Claire Elizabeth! She is 2. The other is a former co-worker in her 30's. Now that we pay attention to the name we have actually run into quite a few young girls/babies named Claire. It does seem like there is always at least one other in a class she is in or at the pool in the summer. I also just want to call out that Elizabeth is an extremely popular middle name to pair with Claire. Almost every other Claire I've met (I'm not joking) is a "Claire Elizabeth." If I had known all of this ahead of time, I would have stuck with Claire as a first name, but picked a different middle name.

  • None.

    Also, I love this spelling of Elisabeth!

    I don't think I know any.  It's surprising, because it's a fairly popular name and the sort of traditional name my friends would like.  I like it a lot, although being part Italian I have tried to talk DH into Chiara.

  • I know one adult Claire

  • One.  She's 25. 

    I like it, but my dad's name is Clair, so that's obviously not an option for us lol

  • One 6 year old, and one almost 30 year old.

    My Bff's daughter is Claire Elizabeth (6).  There is a Clare in my DS's Mother's Day Out class (2 years).  I don't know here mn, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Elizabeth. It is a lovely name, but every time it comes up on here and people are looking for mn suggestions, they end up choosing Elizabeth.  I suspect that of the Claire's born each year, many of them have the mn Elizabeth.
  • I know one who's in highschool, and I have a professor named Clare and yes she's British! who's in her 30's but no youngsters! I love the name : so classic and pretty!

  • I don't know any Claires.  It is my cousins middle name, that's it!  I love the name though.  I had considered Clara if this LO was a girl.
