We've starting to lean strongly towards Mary for girl bump (due mid-July) and would like to honour my late grandfather, Claude in the middle name spot.
Our options are:
Mary Claudia - obviously Claudia is the 'go to' feminine form of Claude, but we don't think this sounds great.
Mary Claudine - this sounds better but it still isn't great.
Mary Claudette - we think this has the best sound to it, but is Claudette a bit fusty?
The only other option is to use Claude itself. In France, the name Claude is both feminine and masculine, but I appreciate we're not in France and would therefore be met with puzzling looks if we simply named her Mary Claude.
Thoughts/comments? Are there any other feminine forms of Claude you're aware of that we're missing?
