I have an Emily, so I chose Emily. I like Emily & Claire together. Also, I knew a lot of Sarahs growing up but hardly any Emilys, so am more tired of Sarah.
Both classy - but I prefer Sarah for flow with Renee, less popular right now, and just one of my all time faves. I have major nerd associations with Emily.
I chose Emily. I think Emily Renee flows better than Sarah Renee and I've also just never been a fan of Sarah. I think it's just too plain and common. And I think Claire Elise and Emily Renee are a great sibset
Emily is one of my favorite names but I won't use it because of popularity. If you don't mind then I think it's a great choice and sounds great with claire.
