Claudia?

[BertieBasset]

We have really struggled to find a girl's name we both like, boy's name no problem though! I am now 38 weeks and time is running out.

What do you think of Claudia and what middle names go with it? I think Roase goes well, but is quite popular as a middle name. Any thoughts?

Yes, but don't call me Shirley!

ellenjane are you my DH? That is his favourite joke :)

Not unless he's fat, fair and in his forties, oh yes, and a girl!

Love the name Claudia and only know one.

I prefer the German pronunciation - Cloud-ee-a. I don't like the Claw sound at the beginning otherwise.

Love Claudia, how about Claudia Beryl

I like what you've done there

I'm quite liking an sound after Claudia for some reason eg.
Claudia Caroline
Claudia Marilyn/Marianne/Miranda
Claudia Hannah
Claudia Tanith/Thandi
Claudia Xanthe

But then Claudia Lorelei has just popped into my head too.

I love the name Claudia. I really wanted to name DD Claudia but DP really disliked the name.

I like it, DH doesn't. How about Claudia Harriet.

I love this name. Dh doesn't.

Claudia Belle?
Claudia Anne?

Or more Latin? Claudia Justina? Claudia Verena?

I like the German pronounciation, I think!

The meaning seems to be 'lame' but I also found this meaning ... 'Persevering'

I do like it.

Just to let you know we now have a dd2 called Claudia Joy!! Thanks for all your suggestions. We have had lots of positive comments - although it would be a brave person not to tell me my baby is gorgeous with a gorgeous name at 2 days old

Many congratulations!

Congratulations! Claudia Joy is lovely
