We are thinking of using Clare as a middle name - Claire is DH's grandmother's name - but we are thinking of using the spelling Clare because we love Ireland and that is how it is spelled in Ireland (i.e. County Clare)

Both work, I guess, but I always think something is missing when I look at Clare. I would go with Claire.

LOL, though, I just remembered a post from a long time ago when someone wanted to spell it Clayre! That's always an alternative .

Both are fine...but if you're Irish like me...I would go with Clare for obvious reasons.

Claire for a girl.

Clare is the male spelling.  It's my grandfather's middle name.

The name itself is lovely, but I prefer Clare.

Thanks everyone.  Seems like Claire is the more popular way.

Yes I (and my husband) are Irish, but I was thining Clare moreso because that's how St. Clare is spelled not really after County Clare.  Being Catholic I kind of like the idea of spelling it the same way as the saint's name.  Still undecided though...
