Lilia or Claudia?

[HowCanADoorBeAJar]

We have a 2 week old baby girl who is still nameless. We had decided on Claudia but the "Claw" part is now turning me off. I was against Lilia because all those names are so popular but it's growing on me. I'm here asking for your kind advice, which one do you prefer?

We have a 2 week old Claudia! Go with Claudia - you'll love it!

Lovely seeing all the positive comments on here regarding our choice of name.

A good piece of advice I read (poss on here) was 'does the name fit into these 3 sentences...?'

1. Can X came out to play?
2. Is X ready for promotion?
3. X will you marry me?

Of course I am completely biased but I think Claudia fits perfectly in all 3!

I also have a Claudia nn Claudie or Clauds by her friends.

Or, if you cant decide... how about a combination of the two, like Lidia, or Lydia? My cousin is called Lydia and I think its a beautiful name. Do love Claudia though :) x

If you have gone off the name CLaudia, then think again. I don't like Lilia- it is the sort of name that you would go off I think. Lydia is a beautiful combination of the two, I think.

I love Claudia - classy and elegant, will also 'age' well - a 40 year old Claudia is lovely, as is a 4 year old Claudia!

Love that maldive moment!

I'm afraid I can't see past the meaning of Claudia (lame/disabled) but perhaps I have studied too much Latin . Also, I prefer the German pronunciation (Clowd-ya) rather than the harsh sounding English Claw-dya)

Lilia, on the other hand, is beautiful, as is Lydia!

I would never call my baby Claudia because it means disabled.
Lilia sounds very femine and pretty.

I don't think that the meaning of a name should add any weight to your decision if you like it. When I name my baby girl later this year, it will be because I like the name, because those also with that name are inspirational and wonderful people, and because the name suits her :)

how about Lila instead of Lilia.?

Any updates, OP?

I have Claudia - means lame
I have Amelia - means something to do with losing limbs
If dc3 is another girl I will also have a Cassandra

Clearly name meanings mean little to me

We've gone back to our orginal name. Claudia Rose is officially named! Thanks for all the help.

I'm so glad you decided on Claudia. It's so beautiful. I have a six year old Claudia and I love the fact it's not too common. Everyone always comments on what a beautiful name it is. I've never regretted calling my little girl Claudia. Love, love, love it!

I love Claudia! And Claudie as a nn :)
