Clara - I'm having second thoughts at 35 weeks...

Having been adamant for months that I want to call my second daughter Clara, I'm having a last minute wobble.

I still think it is a lovely name, but I'm worrying that it sounds a bit hard and grown up.

Also, I have an acquaintance, who is quite an opinionated pushy mum, and her daughter is called Lara. Is she going to think I'm sort of copying her?

It's a lovely name.
Doesn't matter what the other woman thinks.

Thank you. I think it is just last minute nerves. I am still worried about Lara's mum though!

Don't worry at all about Lara's mum!
Clara is a beautiful name. You can call her Clarey too, which is really lovely and a bit softer.
