DH really likes it, I'm not sure. We already have Frances and like Miriam, Dominic, Joseph and maybe Beatrice (expecting twins, don't know the sex).

It's a beautiful classic name, which will stand out as individual and different in the current generation as today's parents remember too many 'claires' from their youth; hence none else will use it now; go for it!

Clara's better

Sorry but I think it's a dull choice. I can't get past it being the name that every second person had when I was growing up. Your other choices are much nicer and go better with Frances.

I don't like it. I like dated 7Os names but I don't like the cl sound. It sounds like throat clearing.

It's lovely. I actually prefer it to the currently fashionable 'Clara'. Although you may get people telling you it's dated and 'very 70s/80s', but don't let that bother you. You don't have to follow the herd. Having said that, apparently Claire is very popular for little girls in America right now. Maybe they didn't get such a lot of Claires in the 70s/80s as we did here.

I also like the 'Clare' spelling (slightly prefer it), but Claire is great too.

I love it. It's a classic, pretty name, due a revival.

I also love the spelling Clare.
