Baby names - Claudia

[FunkeMonkey]

What do you think? Pros and cons why like/dislike?

Curious. How would you be prn?

Cloudier. Clawdier.

I know two. One is a beautiful Italian woman who pronounces it cloud-ee-ah.

The other is a cat (claw-dia... boom boom!)

Probably Cloud ee ah

Love it, it was in the top 5 for DD (we went with no.1 name though), re. PP, would pronounce it Clawdier as in Winkleman.

It was on my radar because of Anne Rice's character (although she did meet a grizzly end), but also we're both Farscape and SG1 fans and the actress Claudia Black is in both. But mainly we just liked it. Not overly popular but not too out there either. Much like the name we went with!

Give it a twist and spell it with a K so Klaudia

It is an EXCELLENT name (my dd's name)! She likes it too.

Lovely name.

I think it’s a lovely name but you will get posters saying they don’t like the meaning of it (lame) but I wouldn’t let that put you off.

What's the meaning of it? Oops didn't even think about that

Ohh the actual meaning of the name is lame .

Gorgeous name! I had a friend at school called Claudia and always thought it was a very sophisticated name

Very few people care what their name means. My name means princess. Alas I am not one

I love the name Claudia / Claudie. I'd say Claw-dia. It was vetoed for my DC, unfortunately, so please use it OP and I can live vicariously through you

Yes, my name means 'attendant at a sacrifice' but it rarely comes up in conversation! We chose Claudia as we thought it was a lovely name without there being two of them in every classroom.

No, OP, don't spell it with a K for goodness' sake! That would look a bit naff.

I like it but Claw-dia like Winkleman. My name means sorrow!

It’s lovely. Personally I prefer the Cloud-ia pronunciation.

I love it, classy and quite rare. Would only pronounce it Claw-dia though!

Love it - please don't use a K - maybe that was a joke? Either pronunciation would be fine.

I like the Cloud pronunciation but would always assume the Claw pronunciation.

Please don’t spell it with a K unless you are an aspiring Kardashian.

Love it. Classy and feminine.

K is naff af. Don't do that.

Where I live eveyone would pronounce it Claw Dear whether you wanted them to or not.

Other than that I love it.

I love the name. I worked with a Claudia, pronounced Clawdia.

Claudia (pronunciation Claw-dia) is a lovely name. Claudine is nice too.

I do like the pronunciation Cloud-ia too, but this is more unusual in the UK and Cloud-ia will possibly spend her life correcting people who say Claw-dia.

Claw-dia is lovely, Cloud-ia is wank.
