I like the name Claire but am wondering if it's too popular. Any other ideas?

I adore Pascale.
It's on my list but we're not french so not sure if we'd get away with it.
Also Claudie / Claudine perhaps.
However, I do love Claire. I know a new baby called Claire actually and thought that was quite unusual as I don't know of any at school / nursery at the moment.

I love Elodie, my son was going to be that if he was a girl. Although I went on to have another girl, I could not use Elodie because that was his 'female' name, the same way that I could not use my DD1's 'male' name for my first born son.

I don't know a Claire under thirty, so not sure what you mean by popular.

Clara?

Claire not popular anymore, was popular in 70's, you'd be very retro to use Claire.
