Elizabeth is definitely the better out of the two - although I may be biased as I have one :-) Contrary to what a prev poster says everyone calls her Elizabeth and occasionally Beth - no one calls her Liz or Lizzy. I love the name and think it's so versatile!

Well, I like Lizzie but not Liz so much. Do you think Henry and Elizabeth is a bit too Tudor?

I like Claudia but not sure if I'll get frustrated with some saying Claw dia and others clou dia. If that helps at all ?!

Only choose Elizabeth if you also love Liz or Lizzy because it's likely you will be the only ones to call her Elizabeth!

I also think Elizabeth to go with Henry, but I do like Claudia too.

Elizabeth.Have one!Had Claudia on my list also and am glad we chose Elizabeth in the end as we love it.

Both lovely but Elizabeth has the edge because it's so versatile - so many short forms, fits any profession or class, internationally recognisable, etc etc - and yet not wildly overused.

Elizabeth.

Claudia is awful imo. I have a completely irrational hatred for it.

Both lovely but I especially love Claudia. I never even thought of this name when I was pregnant and if it wasn't for the fact I had a boy, I would be kicking myself now!!

Oh tough..both lovely.

Claudia Elizabeth is stunning. But I live Lizzie or Izzy for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, not only is it lovely but it goes much better with Henry.

I've bored on here about names quite a bit but am nearly at 38 weeks so nearly there.

Was quite fixed on Claudia but DH has also reminded me that I have also been very keen on Elizabeth.

We have a DS called Henry.
