Finally narrowed our names down to these two. Any preferences? Baby due immenently. I think the plan is to see what she looks like and then decide.
I was never this uncertain with my son but have always found girls names more difficult.

Clara Elizabeth is lovely, dislike Erica.

IrritableBitchSyndrome · 03/01/2016 14:21

Clara. Love it. Not so keen on Erica.

Rosaaa · 03/01/2016 14:18

Prefer Erica.

CremeEggThief · 03/01/2016 12:10

Clara Elizabeth sounds gorgeous. The names flow together well.

ske001 · 03/01/2016 12:08

Clara is beautiful I knew a Clara once and always loved the name!

mammmamia · 03/01/2016 01:00

Clara Elizabeth for me. Not keen on Erica but Clara is on my list for theoretical DD2!

Boogers · 03/01/2016 01:00

I really like both names, though the only Clara I've known was pronounced 'Clar-a', not 'Clair-a'. Both are lovely though, especially with the middle names. Smile

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 03/01/2016 00:59

Both are gorgeous. If I had a gun to my head, I'd probably choose Clara Smile

DramaAlpaca · 03/01/2016 00:55

I really like Erica Charlotte.

Unoriginalusername123 · 02/01/2016 19:50

I find Elizabeth a little full and predictable in the middle name slot, so much as I love Clara, I think Erica Charlotte is a stunning choice.

WorldsBiggestGrotbag · 02/01/2016 19:05

I mean Clara!

WorldsBiggestGrotbag · 02/01/2016 19:05

Clare Elizabeth is lovely

Shop · 02/01/2016 19:05

Definitely Erica Charlotte it's really lovely.

xmasseason · 02/01/2016 19:04

Erica. It's more unusual.

TrinityForce · 02/01/2016 17:18

Clara.

ashesandfire · 02/01/2016 17:18

Both are lovely! I think Erica, it's a bit more unusual and such a strong name. Erica Charlotte is gorgeous!

Clara to rhyme with car.

Erica. Seems a stronger name somehow. Clara is a bit frilly and girly. Erica Faye would be my choice but Erica Charlotte is lovely too.

FlysInDreams · 02/01/2016 16:32

Is that Clara to rhyme with car or care? I've heard of both.

IoraRua · 02/01/2016 16:29

Erica is gorgeous. Not really a fan of Clara.

Sophronia · 02/01/2016 15:42

I think Clara is going to increase a lot in popularity. I prefer Erica.

thisismypassword · 02/01/2016 14:50

What about Clara Erica?

I don't really like Erica though.

ThursdayLastWeek · 02/01/2016 14:49

Oh, I think an Erica would be lovely and original!
I really like it

adds to own list

DontKillMyVibe · 02/01/2016 14:48

Both are as nice as each other so I can see why you have difficulty choosing! It might well be that you do have to wait until baby arrives and decide then if she looks more like an Erica or a Clara!

Not much help I know Grin
