Claudia, Clementine, Eliza?

[ramblingrosie]

What do you think of these and which do you think goes best with Olivia?

Eliza. But I have one!! And she is lovely to boot!

They are all lovely names, but I think Claudia is the one that sounds best with Olivia. Eliza is very nice but quite a similar sounding to Olivia.

Olivia and Eliza are too samey I think. I would go for Clementine or Claudia, in that order.

Clementine always makes me think "Oh My Darling" or small oranges. I like Claudia, but there are two ways of pronouncing it - would that bother you? Also, the meaning isn't great.

So I'd go for Eliza.

Olivia and Eliza are quite similar. Olivia and Claudia both have the same 'ia' ending. Plus, I'm not keen on the meaning of Claudia, but meanings may not bother you.

Olivia and Clementine would be my choice, but then I have a Clementine so I may be a bit biased.

I love all three, although in my opinion, Eliza goes least well with Olivia.

In my area I know of one Clementine, several Elizas but no Claudias at all which, for me, would be another good reason to choose it!

Clementine :)

I like all 3 names

DD was nearly Clauia - think it's beautiful and quite under used

Clementine. The other names sound too similar to Olivia.

Claudia absolutely love it, not heard of very often either.

I love Eliza!! Don't get the MN obsession with the name Clementine. I don't like it or Claudia at all. But Eliza is lovely :)

They are all beautiful! I think Clementine is my favourite though. It was on my list for DD but DP wasn't too keen!

I adore Clementine. I would've loved to have named one of my daughters Clementine but DH isn't a fan :( I think it's beautiful and is lovely with Olivia.

Love Clementine, Claudia is lovely too, but more often than not pronounced incorrectly by others. Eliza is nice but prefer Elizabeth

Clementine or Claudia

The meaning of Claudia (lame/disabled) would put me off, I'm afraid. Clementine is ok but reminds me of an orange. Eliza is nicest imo.

Sonniebonnie - Amelia means without limbs, it still sounds nice and hasn't put off a good number of people. I like Claudia v much.

Not Clementine, too cutesy.

Claudia. Clementine is an orange. Plus becoming very popular. I think it'll date very quickly, it'll be like Paige or Shannon that were massive for a few years then dropped off the planet.

I really like Eliza, but would use Elizabeth.

As far as I know the Latin root of Amelie/Amelia is 'industrious, hard working', whereas the Latin root of Claudia is Claudus meaning disabled/lame.

I hadn't been aware that the medical condition Amelia, but thanks for pointing it out.

Clementine is a guilty pleasure of mine. I wouldn't use it (would never be able to convince my husband for a start) so I have to admire it from afar.

LOVE Eliza, but then I'm a sucker for late 19th/early 20th century names.

Claudia I'm not so keen on. There's also the question of whether you pronounce it CLAUD-ia or CLOUD-ia.

I love all your names, but think Eliza and Olivia are a bit too similar.

Clementine and Olivia go beautifully together (imo the 'a''s in Olivia and Claudia cause them to get a bit jumbled when said together.)

Clementine and Eliza are both lovely names, and both go well with Olivia. Not keen on Claudia.
