I love both... Currently completely torn between the two!

Thoughts?!

Astrid. I think the KHLAR sound in Clara is really harsh and hard to say.

crapfatbanana · 25/02/2017 23:14

Clara is my favourite.

mum2be2boys · 25/02/2017 22:40

Love Astrid. Not keen on Clara though.

HumphreyCobblers · 25/02/2017 21:07

I have an eight year old Clara, so I do like that name obviously. But it IS moving up the lists hugely, although strangely I have never met another one. I expect if I moved to England I would meet a few.

MrsEricBana · 25/02/2017 21:05

Both great. Perhaps depends on which goes best with your surname.

DS would've been Clara had he been a DD, although we then named DD something else anyway... Not too sure about Astrid; sounds quite futuristic, which isn't necessarily a bad thing I suppose.

I love Astrid, but husband vetoed it. Clara is very pretty too but I prefer Astrid.

TheNaze73 · 25/02/2017 20:56

Both are beautiful however, I prefer Astrid

Clara

sailawaywithme · 25/02/2017 20:54

I love Astrid!

donkey86 · 25/02/2017 20:51

I love Astrid. It's on my list, but I suspect DH will veto - he's not keen on anything out of the ordinary.

SuperBeagle · 25/02/2017 20:49

Clara.

I can't see the appeal of Astrid. It's very harsh and unattractive sounding.

Muddlingalongalone · 25/02/2017 20:17

Love them both. Clara seems super popular at the moment if that concerns you?

aquamarina100 · 25/02/2017 20:16

I really like Clara, I find Astrid harsh sounding.

GVmama · 25/02/2017 20:16

Clara for me too! So pretty. Although Astrid is lovely too!

JanuaryJuniper · 25/02/2017 20:13

LOVE Astrid!!!

RiaOverTheRainbow · 25/02/2017 19:56

I like Astrid a lot, I find Clara a bit meh.

MrsMarigold · 25/02/2017 19:42

Clara. Astrid is horrid.

Peanut14 · 25/02/2017 19:32

Clara Flowers

Rockaby · 25/02/2017 19:31

Astrid / Ass-turd though... it is a wee bit like Ass-turd, is it not? Just me then! As you were Grin.

geordiedench · 25/02/2017 19:30

Clara. It's one of my favourite names for girls. But I think Clara Astrid is great - why not use both?

FirstSeemItThenBeIt · 25/02/2017 19:25

Astrid by many many miles

OvO · 25/02/2017 19:22

Both are fabulous but I think Astrid just pips Clara for me.

MarjorySunshineDust · 25/02/2017 19:22

Astrid! Not keen on Clara.

reallybadidea · 25/02/2017 19:21

I love Astrid. If I ever had another girl I'd definitely use it.
