Please tell me what you think.
Is this a good name? I love it but I was upset (pregnancy homones)when somebody mentioned Thomas the Tank Engine
I don't want Clara on its own either.

I love this name.

We have a book where Clarabella spends so long brushing her crocodile teeth, she misses out on playing. In the end her friends buy her a giant toothbrush,

It's a lovely name. Its abbreviations are good too - Clara, Clarry, Belle, Bella, etc. I like all those classy old names like Clarabel, Christabel, Corabel, etc.

I don't know anything about Thomas the Tank Engine, but there's some joke that could be made about just about every name, so I wouldn't worry about it.

It makes me think of a cow.

Sorry, but I did think Thomas.
Well, I suppose, so long as she's not a twin and the other one is Annie......
