Settle a debate please on names

Right me and my partner both like names of a completely different 'style' and HATE each other's choices.

We each think our 'style' of names is the better one obviously and have a bet going as to who can get most votes for the name we have each chosen.

In the interest of fairness I will not say who has chosen what name so it's a simple vote between which girl's name you prefer out of the two listed.

If you have a reason as to why you like / hate a certain name please state why.

Thanks :)

Right so the choices are:

Clara
or
Chelsea

Clara - beautiful
Chelsea - Chavvy

Clara, definitely!

Clara

Clara. Chelsea is awful.

Not mad on either but I can think of a worse name that Chelsea but my taste in names has been questioned on here many times Grin

I bet DH's choice is Chelsea and he supports Chelsea! I know of 3 Chelseas, two from when I was a child, and all the dads support Chelsea FC.

Chelsea? Please don't. Why not Marble Arch or Kensington or Knightsbridge?

Clara, Clarice, Clarabelle are good. If you like "ee " sounds then Charity, Katy or something similar would be nicer.

Clara.

I generally don't think place names work as well on girls as they do on boys, and there's always the risk of people thinking it's a "place of conception" name (though Chelsea is rather more established, so might escape this). In some footballing families it would of course be a no-no, but this probably doesn't apply to you.

What Hassled said..no need to repeat!!

Clara. I LOVE Clara. Or Clarice. Elegant, simple, classic, will never date.
Chelsea is common as muck. Truly awful. Screams bimbo in a nightclub trying to bag a footballer.
