Clara Cutler?

emily8889

I love the name Clara but am struggling with whether it works with the surname. What do you think of Clara Cutler? Is it too much of a tongue twister with the C's and L's in both names? My husband says it's fine but I am hesitating. Thoughts?

I don't like it. Too choppy. Sounds like a nursery rhyme

Not a fan with your surname

Its too much for me

It doesn't bother me that much especially if you love it. I'm probably biased though because I love the name too!

It's not bad.  I don't mind names with the same first and last initial.  (I'm an HH.)  I think the only thing throwing it off for me are all the "L"s in the names. I think that might be a tongue twister.

I love Clara but think with C and L in the last name it's an odd pair. Clarissa Cutler as a full name softens it a bit for me and she could still go by Clara?

It’s a bit much for my taste but I wouldn’t side eye it either

I like the name. I see why you are worried, but I honestly don't think it's that bad. If you truly love the name, I would go for it.

I like it. I'd say go for it.

Thanks for your replies! Seems there are mixed reviews. I love Clara, it is my first choice, but I just don't know if I can get past the tongue twister aspect with the L's.

It sounds fine to me.

I wouldn't say tongue twister, but it does sound a bit like a fictional character.  Not the worst critique of a name, though.  If you absolutely love it, I think that it could still work.

I think it sounds really nice together, I don't think it's a tongue twister.

It's definitely a tongue twister-- we had a similar problem years ago. Loved the FN Patrick for our son but with our last name Prescott, we decided not to do it. Went with a name that was less alliterative, and I'm so glad I did. I suggest you keep looking. How about:

Lydia
Anna/Ana
Ella
Olivia
Nora
Amelia
Willa
Diana
Halle
Lily
Lila
Delilah

I'm really not understanding how it is a tongue twister! I can say it pretty easily even 3 times fast.

I love the name Clara and think it works well with your last name.

It's a little clunky to pronounce, but if you truly love Clara, I wouldn't disqualify it.

Meh. The hard 'c', 'L'  and 'r' sounds in both names do make it a mouthful.

I don't think it's a tongue twister at all.
