We have really struggled to find a girl's name we both like, boy's name no problem though! I am now 38 weeks and time is running out.

What do you think of Claudia and what middle names go with it? I think Roase goes well, but is quite popular as a middle name. Any thoughts?

Claudia is derived from the Latin Claudius meaning disabled/lame. Shame, as it is a nice name otherwise.

Lovely name, I don't know the meaning. I like it pronounced the proper way - Cloud-ee-a.

Claudia is a lovely name - I wouldn't let the meaning put you off.

But - the world does now officially have enough girls with the middle name of Rose, May, May and Lily. Grin

Claudia and almost any pretty family name would be nice, and keep the rellies sweet.

valiumbandwitch · 25/05/2011 22:35

I love it!

I'd put it with something simple though. Maeve or Joy maybe.

BibiBelle · 25/05/2011 22:33

Claudia is top of our list for this bump, so for your excellent taste Bertie Grin

Have found middle names an interesting challenge though: names starting with vowels don't really work as they run into the final -a; names ending in -a don't work as too matchy (which sadly rules out some of my favourites); some consonant-starters just sound wrong because of the consonants in Claudia, e.g. D names don't really work. Perhaps I'm overthinking this Hmm Anyway, here's what's on my list atm:

Claudia Frances
Claudia Faith
Claudia Helene
Claudia Mimi
Claudia Seren
Claudia Willow
Claudia Rowan
Claudia Margot
Claudia Saffron

Claudia is lovely. I prefer Lily to Rose, every other little girl has Rose for a middle name atm.

Claudia Jane is also lovely!

shoobidoo · 25/05/2011 20:55

The meaning would put me off, sadly.

pilates · 25/05/2011 20:27

Yes it does sound rather lovely

Claudia - lovely, classy name.

Did you mean Rose as not heard of Roase? If so, then yes sounds great.
