We've whittled it down to two names! Which do you prefer?

Clara
Camille

DD1 is Orla :) (Not fussed about keeping siblings in the Irish category)

Clara is beautiful.

Clara is pretty and if it matters, imo works well as a sister name to Orla - yes, obviously they are very different origins but the repeated letters somehow link them.

Camille is nice enough but seems a very different style to Orla, to me Clara is somehow a middle ground without going for the obvious sibset name (Maeve, Niamh etc)

Love love LOVE the name Clara, but couldn't use it. Orla and Clara sounds lovely.

I like Clara best but not with Orla so Camille. Chloe?

DazedLion · 02/01/2025 23:12

Camille & Orla goes best (less of a mouthful with the la’s & ra’s

Clara is lovely

CatchHimDerry · 02/01/2025 23:06

I personally would not like the -a at the end of both, feeling it’s a bit “samey”, but that’s just me

So Camille :)
