Clara

What do you think of Clara? I've never been a big fan of Claire, but I think Clara is so pretty. Your take?

I like it. It seems "fancier" than Claire somehow.

Love it, it's my niece's name and it's sweet, spunky and unique.

That is the name we chose for DD3 due next month. Each pregnancy, I suggested Claire to DH and he shot it down both times, but this time when I mentioned Clara, his face lit up and there was no turning back! I recently found out I had a great great aunt named Clara so that sealed the deal.

I prefer Claire/Clare. Clara just seems like a cow to me. Clarabelle.

I've always loved Clara. I think of The Nutcracker when I hear it, which is a nice association.

I love it. It sounds rhymey with our LN or I would really consider it. It's a family name for us too.

mchupie

Love it. We'd probably use it if it wasn't so similar to Carina (DD1).

Love Clara. Would have used but didn't like it with out LN. If I could have changed our LN to something else without everyone thinking I was crazy so that she could be Clara, I would have

Clara is really lovely. So much better than Claire in my opinion.

I love it. It's on our list for future baby girl names!

I really like Claire too, but I need a second syllable

I adore it. I wish I could convince my DH to love it too.

I love Clara so much!! Still sad DH vetoed it :-(

MusicFanatic

Absolutely love it.

FakeFinn

Both are great, but I prefer Clara.

I love Clara. I wish it didn't rhyme with my name because I vetoed it for our DD for that very reason.

macska3

Yay! Glad it's getting a lot of love.

Love love love Clara.  It would have been one of my top picks if it didn't rhyme with our last name

Me too. I think it's so pretty. It's one of my faves and will definitely be in the running if we have another girl to name in the future.

I love Clara.

I love it! My husband thought it was too old fashioned. Ultimately, we went with Clarissa, which I also love and definitely suits my DD.

I love it so much. My DH doesn't like it and intentionally pronounces it weird so it had been taken off our list. I have heard some people say that it sounds like a cow name, but I don't have that association.
