Hermione or Claudia?

[frazzledoldbag34]

Expecting DC3 and getting excited about names. What do you think?

[Spidermama]

Claudia's nice. You don't hear it very often. I think Hermione sounds a bit nobby to be honest.

[belgo]

Claudia is lovely, Hermione is far too pretty and the association with Harry Potter too strong.

[no1putsbabyinthecorner]

I adore both but dh didnt like Hermoine so we went for Claudia.

[FabioBadAssCat]

Claudia.
Bear in mind I am a cat, so slightly biased.
But it's waaaaay nicer than Hermione, and people will be able to pronounce it.

[treacletart]

I really like Claudia

[TheFallenMadonna]

[Jazzicatz]

[Podrick]

[Anna8888]

Claudia much better.

[MrsMattie]

Hermione- poncy.
Claudia - OK

[frazzledoldbag34]

Well, any other suggestions at all then?
I also like Lydia, Arabella, Esther and Scarlett at the mo.

For boys I like Atticus, Barnaby, Bay and Blake.

Claudia

[frazzledoldbag34]

And why is it when lots of people seem to like Claudia that there aren't ever very many of them about? My concern would be that I use the name and suddenly there are millions of them and mine is one of 5 in her class or something. (I was one of 5 girls with the same name in my classs at school and it wasn't great)

Claudia

Hermione is toooooooooooo close to Harry Potter.

[Anna8888]

I like Arabella a lot.

[notsoteenagemum]

I like Hermione who cares about the Potter thing there are still loads of Harrys. However it seems to have a bit of a chav following round here. I heard someone pronouncing it Hermi-ownie the other day.
Don't like Claudia sorry reminds me of a nasty cousin.

[Raahh]

Claudia, lovely

[bettybeetroot]

Love Hermione and also Arabella. What about Hester?

[Tommy]

Claudia - definitely

[frazzledoldbag34]

Betty - love Hester but there is one in the family already - couldn't use it.

[Bumperlicious]

Ooooh, love Claudia, was just telling DH the other day I would like to add it to my list for the next one (waaaaaay into the future!)

[annasmami]

Claudia is orginally latin and means 'lame'....

[annasmami]

...but I love Arabella for girl and Atticus for a boy!

[SoupDragon]

One of my cats is called Atticus.
