Just as the thread title says.....what do you reckon? It's our first baby and so I have no idea if it is a popular/common name, as currently don't mingle with folk who have kids in nursery etc.

I'm thinking of it because I love The Nutcracker ballet, plus the baby is due at Christmas (The Nutcracker always makes me feel Christmassy!).

I love Clara! I woke up this morning having a dream in which I had called my dd Clara and I was so happy.

My great grandmother on my paternal grandfather's side was called Clara - I wish I'd used it.

I love Clara. It doesn't go with my last name otherwise I would have chosen it. It has no negative IMO. I know several Claras who are all quite different but who really suit the name so I think it's very versatile.

love it

It's quite nice and I don't know any little Claras. Claire is another option which I think may be more unusual than Clara these days?

Moooo! Reminds me of a cow. Sorry!

I know 1 Clara and she's 8 (I work in a school that takes children from 3-16).
It's such a pretty name! X

Its really lovely. I don't think its popular at the minute so that's good too. Its original without being off the wall unique.

I like it and agree it's a pretty name. It's becoming more popular (it jumped +18 places from 2013-2014) but it's still outside the top 100 at #121, I think it is going to keep increasing in popularity though.

Not sure what's in right now but I love Clara. It's a really pretty name.
