Clara or Penny?

Which would you rather be called? [smile]

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Penny! I love Penelope and wanted to call my baby that if he'd been a girl.

Clara

Clara for me

bootsycollins · 31/12/2013 22:05

Penny.

Rosencrantz · 31/12/2013 22:47

Clara, unless Penny is short for something more pretty. Don't like Penny at all.

KrabbyPatty · 31/12/2013 22:48

I hate them both. Sorry.

absoluteidiot · 31/12/2013 23:20

One of those actually is my name. I have always liked it. No-one else at school had my name!

But please all use it & make it popular, I'd love a trendy name

Not massively keen on either but prefer Clara. Reminds me of sweet girl on Heidi.

Clara , my dad nearly called me Penny. Thank god he never

yawningbear · 01/01/2014 08:47

Clara by far.

DitsyDonkey · 01/01/2014 08:57

Clara

MadeOfStarDust · 01/01/2014 09:03

I love both...

but Clara would win at a push..

Mrsindecision · 01/01/2014 10:41

I prefer Clara. Not keen on Penny.

Penny is one of the abbreviations for Penelope, so unless you'd be thinking of using an abbreviation as the official name, a better comparison might be 'Clara or Penelope'. I would happily be called either, both are far prettier and less common than my name! Clara makes me think of the nutcracker ballet, and Penelope is lovely

Clara and Penelope yes. Penny not as a full name. Just my opinion obviously.

SS3J · 01/01/2014 13:38

Clara by a mile. It is lovely, and Penny just makes me think 'spend a penny'.

StuckOnARollercoaster · 01/01/2014 13:44

Both are lovely but very different. Clara - quite distinguished, posh, serious. Penny - very sweet, happy and bubbly. Maybe see which suits your daughter when she's born.
I had a similar dilemma and had Elizabeth (Beth) and Daisy on my list and was favouring Elizabeth but when dd was born she was definitely a Daisy

Lovely names. I think Penny. I'm fussy about 'long versions on birth certificates' for optimum naming/nicknaming options so would use Penelope. I also love it shortened right down to Pen.
