I love Audrey 9/10
Claire or Clare 10/10
Maelle 7/10
Clara 7/10

Do you like Manon? As in the Manon daffodil.

Clara definitely. Maelle will always have pronounciation issues and Audrey is awful.

Chispazo · 19/05/2023 21:08

Clara for sure. Maelle, not sure how you'd pronounce that but it looks like that brand of mustard. Audrey I do not like at all. Too harsh.

StillWantingADog · 19/05/2023 21:05

Love Clara

Audrey is kind of retro but in a good way. I had a fish called Audrey.

Maelle is lovely if pronounced properly. But unless you’re in France, it won’t be.

Clara and Audrey are both lovely.

Maëlle makes me think of the washing machine manufacturer that looks very similar.

I think Clara and Audrey are both really lovely and beautiful, and I probably prefer Clara. Not too sure how to pronounce Maelle but it doesn't seem like my kind of name anyway

I love Clara and Audrey. I don't know anyone called Clara but all the Audrey's I have known were all very lovely.

DuchessOfSausage · 19/05/2023 20:39

I don't like any of them.
Clara was ok when it was said as Clare-a, Maelle is ok if pronounced the french way (Ma-elle) but My-elle is awful, Audrey is ok but I think of Tawdry

mathanxiety · 19/05/2023 20:22

All lovely.

I'd choose Clara.

GoodVibesHere · 19/05/2023 20:21

Why is everyone calling their babies Clara all of a sudden? Every other baby girl seems to be called Clara. In a few years there will be a hell of a lot of Clara's in each school class!

Maelle - I've no idea how to pronounce that? I can't even begin to.

So it'd have to be Audrey.

MrDrEvilPorkChopToYou · 19/05/2023 20:13

Is it My-elle? That would be lovely (would people mis-pronounce it though?) I’ve never seen it before

I love Clara but it is very popular right now. Aud is nice for a nickname

Cotswoldmama · 19/05/2023 20:06

Love Clara, I've never heard of Maëlle would that be pronounced May- Elle? If so that would be a no it's sounds too much like Male.

Sandysandwich · 19/05/2023 19:54

Clara

Rauha · 19/05/2023 19:53

Clara

JamSandle · 19/05/2023 19:51

How do you pronounce Maelle?
