Following on from my previous thread where it was 50/50 as far as not knowing any Clara's to people knowing lots, I'm trying to find a new idea for a sister for Mabel.

I also hadn't thought of it being pronounce Clair-ah and much prefer Clar-ra, so unsure of how would be pronounced here.

I loved Clara, Margot and Martha but having vetoed Clara and Margot and Martha sounding too twee with Mabel I need some help. THANK YOU!

What a shame! Clara, Martha and Mabel were actually among my top names with my last baby. I love them all. They sound great together.

Do you like Iris? That would be very sweet with Mabel.
