Clara Josephine gets my vote Wink

Love love love Clara Isobel and like Evelyn Lily.

I don’t think Clara Evelyn or Evelyn Clara work particularly well together, they don’t flow well IMO. If you did want to use both though I think Clara Evelyn is the better of the two.

Firsttimebabymummy · 18/01/2025 11:23

Clara Evelyn is lovely.

Abbiepriestman · 18/01/2025 11:19

Definitely think its clara followed by evelyn but do think maybe we will wait until she born ? Or 4d scan or something but swaying more towards clara !
middle names i also need to have for both so i have

clara isobel
clara madeline
clara sophia
clara evelyn (to include option 2)
clara joesphine

Evelyn lily
Evelyn clara
Evelyn sophia

i need to pick one of each name to have plaques made because its definitely one of those thank you all 🤍

Clara is a lovely old name, strong but feminine

mathanxiety · 18/01/2025 02:47

I really love Clara.

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 18/01/2025 02:46

Clara is gorgeous. Lovely to pronounce

Areolaborealis · 18/01/2025 02:43

Clara is my favourite.

Please no more Ellies and Evies - we're oversaturated.

Anything with Etta reminds me of a pantomime dame. It sounds like 'ate a' which is fodder for bullying especially if she's chubby.

AutumnColours9 · 18/01/2025 02:28

I like Clara best.

Eleanor..you have to like Ellie or Elle
Clara..lovely and classic. Not too common.
Etta..lovely
Evelyn..nice name but have to like Eve

I also have evalina on my list but my partner isnt as sure on it hes more traditional with names i have an elaia already and that was a push lol x

You can't have an Elaia and an Eleanor, they're way too similar. Clara and Evelyn are lively. Etta would be ok if shirt for Henrietta or similar, but as a standalone name it's not great (looks like ETA)

ListenDontJudge · 18/01/2025 00:59

Love Etta.

Fromthebirdsnest · 18/01/2025 00:43

I have an Eleanor she's either ellie, nell or Nellie as a nickname .. I think it's gorgeous obviously I have a sophie too who we call Fifi x

RogueFemale · 17/01/2025 00:17

I like Etta, but also how about Eloise.

lovemycbf · 16/01/2025 21:44

❤️ Clara

Liv999 · 16/01/2025 21:23

Definitely Clara so beautiful, followed by Eleanor, Evelyn is frumpy and Etta sounds unfinished,

lemonyellows · 16/01/2025 20:36

Clara. All the way

Ontherocksthisyear · 16/01/2025 20:34

Etta isn't nice. All the rest are lovely

Fatloss · 16/01/2025 20:31

My preference from Evelyn Wilkes or Clara Wilkes is Clara. I’m just going on personal preference and not being sure of pronunciation.

I like Eleanor
Etta feels like a nickname. My phone did not recognise and may have auto corrected - first option Etc. it was fine with the other three

I don’t know about popularity of the name, but does it matter to you?
adults seem to split into, I like having an easy, average name or I felt just one in a crowd with my popular name.

Or I love my name as it’s unusual and I get remembered vs I hate standing out.

Frostine · 16/01/2025 20:12

How about Etholle pronounced as Et-o-lee so Etta is a good nn.

I think were most stuck between clara and Evelyn( maybe we will have to see what she looks like at birth !) i know she might be nicknamed which annoys me i would nickname her that though but not replace it as a name as a whole ! Elaïa goes to baby ballet and theres 35 girls and no girls with those names but could be the age range maybe there 18m/3 years ! Or maybe where i live ? Because i know Evelyns on the rise and Eleanor but again never meet any which is strange really ! Lol xxx

Go for Clara then. I can’t see any reason why you couldn’t! And it’s a different letter which is nice. And also two syllables.

If you're stick between two try asking your MW how many they've met recently. That should give you a feel for how popular the name is in your area, and makes can be very regional Wink

user2848502016 · 16/01/2025 11:08

Hmm with you already having an Elaia I would probably go with Eleanor or Evelyn.
Elaia and Clara doesn't flow very well.

Do you like Evangeline? Similar to Evalina but more traditional and nicer I think!

I like them all which is unusual for me.

Eleanor if I had to choose

YouveGotAFastCar · 16/01/2025 10:54

TinyMouseTheatre · 15/01/2025 21:11

I like them all but think that Evelyn might get shortened to Evie and there are roughly, at a conservative estimate, 50 billion Evie's just in our town alone.

Yeah it will. There's two Evelyns and an Evalina in my 8-baby NCT group, and all are shortened to Evie.

I think Elaia probably rules out Eleanor? They sound so similar.
