Clara Jean or Lily Jean?

Hello,

I posted on here a little while ago - thanks for all your opinions - and subsequently thought that OH and I had agreed on Clara Jean (Jean as middle name).

He has now suggested Lily as a possibility (he still likes Clara) which I really like also but has thrown me a little as it means thinking again...!

What are your thoughts on these two names?

Thanks very much!

Clara is a really pretty name. I like Lily too, but it is VERY popular these days.

FrazzleRock · 17/07/2010 19:38

Lily Jean sounds like Billy Jean.
I prefer Clara, very pretty name

Thanks FrazzleRock: hadn't thought of Billy Jean!!

Lily is a little too popular. But both nice names.

Clara Jean or Clare any second name. Clara is so lovely.

Clara Jean is lovely.

LimaCharlie · 17/07/2010 21:18

Was going to say same as Frazzle

CapitalText · 17/07/2010 21:22

Clara and Lily are both lovely names.

With Jean, I'd go for Clara Jean, because as FrazzleRock says, Lily Jean sounds like Billie Jean.

CapitalText · 17/07/2010 21:22

If you opted for Lily as the first name, Lily Clara would be nice.

KimberleySakamoto · 17/07/2010 21:23

Clara. Definitely.

Clara Jean. Dp wanted Clara for dd and I wish we'd gone with it!

violetsmile · 20/07/2010 13:52

Clara definitely.

Is Jean a family name? My mums name is Jean and if baby is a girl she has hinted about middle name being after her, but really dont like the name Jean and finding it really hard to find something that goes with it.

Clara is nice. Lily too popular

JebusBuiltMyHotQuads · 22/07/2010 10:01

Ooh I like Clara Jean

Not fond of Lily.

Clara reminds me of Back to the Future III

jellybeans · 22/07/2010 11:10

Clara jean is lovely. I like Lily too but it's abit popular.

liliputlady · 22/07/2010 11:36

Which goes better with surname?

Both gorgeous names. You could wait and see which she suits?

LilyBolero · 22/07/2010 11:39

Clara Jean is fantastic!
