My two favourites are Clara and Claudia. Any thoughts? Is Clara becoming really popular? Apparently Claudia means 'lame' but I'm not too fussed about that. Would she be though?

Both nice names.
Which goes better with your surname?

Ooh, never thought of Clara - I love it!!

Clara

Clara is reminiscent of a cat's name.
Claudia is gorgeous, timeless n classy. I think u kno which I'd choose! Grin

Clara is more popular and on the rise. Claudia, less so, currently.

I prefer Clara, it's simple and elegant. If you want more unusual try Clarabel or Clarissa (or something in that vein) shortened to Clara.

Absolutely love both of them, so no help at all! What mn are you thinking of?

OwlOffshore · 19/07/2015 11:14

Both are lovely names.

I prefer Claudia. My brain starts the Long Distance Clara song from Pigeon Street when I say Clara. But I appreciate that's my problem... Grin

I also know a Claudia - both lovely names

grabaspoon · 19/07/2015 10:56

I know a Cara and love that. However heard another child being called Cara recently (same age and area)

Sophronia · 19/07/2015 10:53

Claudia, it's more unusual and very pretty.

Clara is beautiful. I work in a children's ward and we havnt had any new born Clara's - I don't think its that popular at all. Congratulations!

Clawed-ia if we used it.

Clara is the favourite I have to admit!

Clara. Sweet and simple.

Would claudia be clawed-ia or cloudier pronunciation?
