Heidi / Clara

[geekygiraffe]

I like both these names (would choose just one, not both), but do they just make you think of hay lofts, goats and sick girls up mountains?

I love Heidi.Clara is ok but I'm not so fond of it.

Yes they do, but I quite like Heidi - Clara less so perhaps.

Clara is a beautiful name and very classy imo

They would be good names for a lovely jersey cow.

Nonetheless I do quite like them...

I like them. Very popular though

Clara is lovely.

Clara is best.

Prefer Clara

Yes they do, but I don't see that as a problem! Prefer Heidi.

Clara - no contest!

Both beautiful

Clara every time

I like them both but Heidi has been slightly tainted by Kerry Katona's use of it. Clara makes me think of the Thomas the Tank Engine character Clarabel.

Heidi is a bubbly swiss girl with blue eyes and blond plaited pigtails.

Clara is English, works as a florist, very elegant, with pale skin olive eyes and long dark brown hair.

this Thread has got me singing the theme tune to the Heidi series that used to be
shown on BBC 1 back in the early 80's. I have a friend called Heidi, so I think the name is quite pretty, but it also reminds me of Kerry Katona's daughter.

I know nothing of Kerry Katona's daughter, but I do think of the little girl who lived in the mountains.
Very pretty name.
I think Clara was the invalid child in the book, who miraculously recovered?
Also Clara in the Nutcracker, I can't think of any negatives.
Both sweet names.

Clara had her whhelchair pushed down the mountain by jealous Peter

I think Clara Schumann rather than the tragic Clara. Talented, sophisticated, and lovely music in other words.

Heidi is clunky by comparison. I always associate it with Wendy for some reason, and goats, obviously, also goat milk, goat cheese, and the smell of goats, goat milk, and goat cheese.

Definitely Clara if for no other reason Heidi's the name of one of Kerry Katona's children

Had both of these on my shortlist for DS2. Also had Marianne and Nancy if that helps.

I like both, Clara is probably my favourite.

Absolutely adore both!

Although I would have Adelheid nn Heidi.

However I have loved both of these names since I was a child and loved the Heidi story.

Clara is lovely. Heidi is a bit twee.

I think Clara is lovely :)

prefer Clara
