Middle name for Clara?

44 replies

We're pretty much set on Clara as a name but struggling with a middle name so looking for inspiration if anyone has any to give. Surname begins with F with the same long 'ar' sound as Clara so maybe not Clara Zara F---- ;)

Kind of leaning away from anything starting with a vowel. No female family members we can honour without repercussions, alas (and DH's maternal grandmother was Trudy and would have lamped us if we'd tried to use her name as a middle name as she hated it)

I was going to suggest Evelyn, but then I saw you were looking for a non-vowel name.

Maybe Frances, Jane, Josephine, Louise, Margaret?

Or Penelope. I forgot that one in my original post.

Our youngest would have been Clara if he'd been a girl. We decided on Clara Dahlia. Still love it.

My distant cousin has recently had a Clara Marie. Seems to go well.

Thanks all! Clara Martha indeed Grin (as an aside, I know 6 Marthas now. Has become wildly popular)

Some beautiful ones here. Front runner is now Clara Juliet. Assuming DH agrees... (I love Clara Delphine but he has watched too much Peppa Pig)

I love Clara and Juliet.

However I also think Clara Mary sounds really nice. Or Clara Penelope.

Good Luck!

Hmm.

Marianne
Madeleine
Beatrice / Beatrix
Rosalind / Rosamund
Frances
Helen / Helena
Penelope / Persephone (wouldn't normally recommend this but you can get away with more for a middle name)

Clara is a beautiful name. I would choose something classic

Clara Elizabeth
Clara Margaret
Clara Ann
Clara Evelyn
Clara Jane

If you have a family name or just a name with a special meaning to you that would be lovely.
