Middle name for Claudia

[GloomyTubeNosedBat]

DH wants Amelie which I like but then her initials would be CAC, which I don't like for obvious reasons.

Need a name like Louise but can't have that as it's dd1's middle name. Any bright ideas anyone?

Rose
Mary
I am stuck as all the ones I think of seem to begin with A!!

Rachael
Hephzibah

Something with two syllables would work.

Claudia Charlotte - although is CCC a problem?
Claudia Elizabeth
Claudia Emily (instead of Amelie)
Claudia Imogen
Claudia Kate/Katherine

Any good?

Ooh love Claudia!

Ideas:
Emilie/Emily (Could get around the A issue
Lena
Grace
Beatrice
Lucy
Ruby
Joan
Jane
Lola
Michelle
Elizabeth

Claudia Irene

I love Claudia

And middle name has to be Jane

(CJ from the West Wing)

Jane immediately came to mind with me too; I think it has to be something with one syllable, because Claudia has three & it will balance.

we have claudia josephine,age 7 months, as she was born in our house, st josephs! love her name sooo much, but had never heard it before and since feb it seems to be cropping up here a bit. not in real life tho!!

love claudia jane too

infact i have just noticed the first 2 name threads are both my daughters names!

OK, what's the problem with CAC?

Claudia Juliana was the first thing that sprung to my mind, keeping in the Latin theme.

I have wanted a Claudia since I had dd1 12 years ago... I now have 3 dds and have not been allowed one :(

My Claudia would have been Claudia Rose :o

Am pregnant with DC 5 now... maybe if it's a girl I will get my Claudia :)

Thanks for all the great suggestions.

I also thought of Claudia Imogen but DH said Imogen sounds like a cleaning product (I despair sometimes I really do).

Claudia Elizabeth is a definite possibility.

I don't think he's going to go for Hephzibah tho.

The man from Del Monte he say yes!

The power of MN strikes again. Thanks mentalfloss.

Claudia Jane?

(are you aware of the meaning of Claudia?)

Claudia Ruth?

JamieLee- LOL: My DD is Claudia and was very nearly Claudia Jean for that very reason. Quite possibly one of my favourite tv characters of all time.

We decided in the end to go with Claudia Grace.

What does it mean? I'm intrigued. I have always loved Claudia. DP vetoed it, so I kept it for the cat

Claudia means "lame" or "crippled", but only because of the Emperor Claudius who was supposedly crippled. But long-dead Roman blokes with limps aren't really featuring in my considerations on name choices.

"Claudia" is also the name of an ancient Roman people - I don't think all of them had limps. And it certainly hasn't done Claudia Schiffer any harm!!

If you've ever studied Latin, you may know that Claudus means lame, disabled. So any name derived from Claudus e.g. Claudia or Claudio will have the same root and meaning.

This may or may not bother you (or your daughter, more importantly).

It is a shame about the meaning, but it would bother me (but I've also studied Latin, so can't get away from the meaning).

If you still go for it, I like Claudia Rose best.

I've also studied Latin and can totally get away from the meaning. It's a very pretty name.

Ooh! Just seen you're thinking of Elizabeth, it is a lovely classic name as is Claudia.

Don't worry about the meaning, it is a beautiful name!

Wasn't it Claudia Jean on West Wing?

Then you could call her CJ :)

Lovely name. Was quite popular in Germany a few years ago.

Would you pronounce it Clawdia or Cloudia?

it would be pronounced Cloud-ia by half the family and Clawdia by the English half! Never heard of the West Wing - assume it's a TV programme. Is she a nice Claudia?

My friend has a Claudia Helen, she gets Claudie as a NN
