Clara or Alma?

Ok, I know this is weird... but I am considering changing my baby dd's name (within the first year when you can still do it). She's called Clara. I really like the name Clara, obviously, but I worry it's a bit staid and becoming very popular. Recently I can't help thinking she's more of an Alma - it seems more distinctive and individual to me. She usually gets called by a nickname anyway (which would stay the same, regardless of actual name), so I don't think she'd notice the change. So what are your thoughts on Clara vs Alma? Or do you think it's just too weird to change a baby's name that family and friends have used got to?

Clara is vastly better than Alma! Alma is truly a retirement home name that I can’t imagine ever being revived.
