Which one? Can’t decide! Is Clara more classic than Lara?

I like Clara best but Lara is nice too. I also like Cora and Lena!

Lara has served me well for 43 years 😁 But I think Clara is lovely too.

SemperIdem · 11/02/2019 13:13

Lara. Clara is clunky.

Clarabell100 · 05/02/2019 19:55

Definitely Clara 😀

JaiNotJay · 05/02/2019 19:50

Clara

Lara. Makes me think of the beautiful ‘Lara’s theme’.

Lara. Clara is going to be quite popular this year I'd imagine, due to the Disney Nutcracker film that came out last Christmas.

Joeybee, I had NO idea Larabar was a thing. We have one, and that is one of her nicknames! Grin So you know which I prefer OP.

Going to keep an eye out for those bars!

KiplingAngelCake · 04/02/2019 11:15

Both fab, but Clara my favourite.

Joeybee · 04/02/2019 10:30

Clara - it's just got more to it. Lara is a bit boring...also there are vegan protein bars called Lara bars, so that puts me off.

raviolidreaming · 03/02/2019 20:40

The 'cl' sound in Clara is a bit hard & clunky sounding to me

  • me too. So Lara.
StalePrincessofBelAir · 03/02/2019 19:23

Both are lovely. Clara seems so classy to me.

Love love love Clara

Lara makes me think of Lara Croft. Only you can decide if that’s a problem.

EngagedAgain · 03/02/2019 18:07

Oh yes Cara/Kara too!

EngagedAgain · 03/02/2019 18:06

Lara, love that name or Lana?

BabarKingoftheElephants · 03/02/2019 17:53

Clara.
Lara and Cara both lovely too though.

MollyHuaCha · 03/02/2019 17:50

Clara

thebings · 03/02/2019 16:28

I like them both, Cora is also nice

AlliKaneErikson · 03/02/2019 16:26

Lara

MikeUniformMike · 03/02/2019 13:07

I like Carla too. But not Clara.

PodgeBod · 02/02/2019 21:34

Clara

mrsk28 · 02/02/2019 21:28

Lara but I also like Lyra personally

Sophronia · 02/02/2019 21:24

Lara

Jaz32 · 02/02/2019 20:23

Both are nice. Also like Carla! Seem to be a few Clara’s popping up now.
