Clara still needs a middle name

[commsgirl]

Actually, she doesn't, we'd be quite happy not to use one, but I'm still hoping for some divine inspiration. There's no family names we'd like to use. Throw all your ideas at me please!

Surname is two syllables and starts with D.

Oswin

Seriously, Clara is quite nice alone.

Elizabeth

Belle!

Frances
Elizabeth
Louise
Victoria
Rose

Juliet
Jasmine
June

( I think J goes well )

Clara Pearl
Clara Jade

I know

Clara Rose
Clara Elizabeth
Clara Sophia

I think all of those are nice!

I don't think Rose works really. Clahruh rose. Too many 'r's. I would also avoid anything beginning with a vowel eg 'Clara Anna' as it would come out sounding like 'Clara Ranna'. Something beginning with 'M' would be good.

Marie?
Marianne?
Marnie?
Miriam?
Madeleine
May?

Or the ubiquitous 'Grace' would also work.

You could go slightly out there with the middle name.

Loveday?
Niamh?

I actually really like the Belle suggestion above!

Mae

Martha oh no, I don't know a Clara Martha, not me

Elise

Celeste
Josephine
Mireille
Dorothy
Ruth
Jean

Anne

UBER random (genuinely NO clue why this came into my head) - was looking at active; saw thread title, and immediately just thought 'Elise'

Have NO clue why, as not even on my own list of names when had DCs!

Clara Elise just sounds beautiful x

Clara May

Clara Imogen

Clara Cecily....CeCe for short

OMG - just scrolled and seen someone ELSE has ALSO said Elise

It's a sign OP - def a sign

BTW, congrats!

Not J - you wouldn't want initials CJD ... Nor, I think, another name ending -a

Meryl
Meredith
Helen
Penelope
Seren

I don't think that names beginning with a vowel are easy to say after a name endng on a vowel.

Clara -er- lizabeth
Claraer-elise..

My DS only has one name, it has worked so far. And I have no middle name, and haven't missed it.

Clara Simone
Clara Ninette
Clara Martine
Clara Mathilde

Somehow a two syllable name that doesn't start or end in a vowel sounds best to me.

Jou

Joy

I know a little Clara Isabelle

Lily
May

Just saw Josephine up thread.
Clara Josephine sounds lovely!
