How many do you know of, and roughly what age are they?

I think I've only taught one Clara in 30 years of teaching. I work in a girls' school atm and I don't think we have any.

I was going to call DD2 Clara in 2016 but then realised as DD1 was Amelia I had a bit of a Dr Who theme going on and changed my mind at the last minute.

Know one who is 35.
I think it's very uncommon and a beautiful, elegant name

I know two, both mid-teens.

Don't know any.
It's lovely though.

I have a fifteen year old Clara. We recently met another teenager but that is the only one we know. I think it is a really elegant name and doesn't get shortened.

I also have a 6yo Clara & have met a few more! I think it was in the top 100 girls names in 2017 so relatively popular.

I have a 6yo Clara, and we've met a few more. There's another in her school but not in her year. Needless to say, I think it's a lovely name ☺️

I know a toddler and a couple of secondary aged kids called Clara. It's a lovely name!

SallyWD · 07/04/2024 20:57

I know one who's mid-40s and one who's 10. So I don't think it's overused at all. Lovely name
