Middle name for Claudia?

I am fairly fixed on Claudia for our DD who is due at the end of next month. I am trying to think of middle names - so far I've come up with:

Claudia Minerva (DH will hate this)
Claudia Eve or Eva
Claudia Elizabeth

Our surname is one syllable and begins with R. What else should I consider?

I do like Elizabeth as a mn but I don't think it rolls off the tongue that well with Claudia... it creates a "Stop. Start" effect and I also think it's a bit of a tongue-twister. Also, (this is going to sound odd!) I feel that Claudia is a subtle, blue-green name and Elizabeth is a brasher, bolder, orange-yellow name... and Elizabeth almost eclipses Claudia, because it's more "look at me"... but Claudia is so subtle, and beautiful, it requires a middle name that complements it and I feel (IMHO) that Elizabeth challenges it.

Claudia is a gorgeous name. I've mentioned it before, but there was a Claudia in my class who was one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met. Her, and Jasmine.

Claudia Jasmine sounds pretty.

That's an interesting idea, Cloud. Of your suggestions I think I like Claudia Madeleine and Claudia Harriet best.

Claudia Anne?

I know it's a bit of an older name, but this it sounds nice :/

Claudia Jean - CJ - off westwing. Not bad character to reference!

Love Claudia Juliet. Adore Claudia fantastic choice! Met one on holiday last week with her sister Clementine.

What do you think of Claudia Mary?

I think you need a name that starts with a consonant. Names beginning with vowels are going to sound a bit awkward, imho. I like Claudia Jane or Claudia Joy (as already suggested). I also like Claudia Faith and Claudia Neve are pretty, I think.

LeoandBoosmum · 16/09/2013 02:06

Hmmm... Claudia Mary is nice but do you think Claudia Marie sounds even nicer? :)

CruCru · 16/09/2013 10:32

I would like Claudia Marie except the greater emphasis on the "r" sounds funny with our surname (one syllable, beginning with R).

Ahhh... Claudia Mary is nice though :)

BlackholesAndRevelations · 16/09/2013 18:44

I wouldn't have three syllables followed by three more syllables, if you see what I mean. Claudia Jane flows best from the options above, in my opinion.

NachoAddict · 16/09/2013 18:58

I really like Claudia Elizabeth or Claudia Alice.

Claudia Louise
Claudia Felicity
Claudia Saide
Claudia Maya
Claudia Melanie
Claudia Nadine

Elllieee · 30/08/2020 20:44

My daughter is
Claudia Poppy but we were thinking Claudia Faith

Crumbs, here's my old thread. We ended up going with Claudia Elizabeth - she'll be seven in a few weeks' time.
