Hello all, what's peoples views on these two names
Clara
Elara
I heard Elara today and it's so unusual. Finding it so hard to find girl and boy names that we like. Thank you!

Like Elara

Not keen on Clara. Cara is much nicer.
Not keen on Elara either. Lara is nicer.
I'd pick Cara

Love Clara - pretty and timeless. Not a fan of Elara at all. How about Lara?

I know an Alara. Never heard it as a name before, only a health food brand

I’ve not heard of Elara but do like Elora which I saw in a book once. Also do like Clara which is classy and beautiful.

I've never heard of Elara but it's definitely my favourite of the two!

Clara is lovely.
Elara sounds a bit made up and trying to be different whilst actually being very like a lot of other popular names.

bobby81 · 27/11/2023 14:27

I like Clara

DesertSnow · 27/11/2023 14:15

Clara is nice and classic, while also not too popular

Love Clara, slightly less sure on Elara, sorry. But nothing wrong with it! Just not my favorite.
