We've narrowed it down those those three after deciding my first idea of Clemency was a bit too risky. I'm sure whichever we chose will be good as we like them all but still undecided. I think I prefer clara because it doesn't need to be shortened like the others

I'm peeved about the dr who thing as I never watch it and didng even know until I was searching the name clara to find out associations.

I don't think a lot of pregnant women watch Dr Who, do they? Isn't it a children's programme?

Other Dr Who names that went to the top of the ONS baby name list were already popular. Clara is well out of the top 100 and I don't know any. I don't think it's cutesy enough to sky rocket. Unlike Amelia (another Who name) - which totally suited the fashion for pretty, cutesy names.

Funniy enough - I know of two Clemencys!

Uh oh! Be careful or they'll hear you.

Not keen on Clara or Cecelia. Beatrice is lovely though.

Ha ha!

Massive fan of beatrice!

Sleepyhoglet · 13/08/2014 22:51

Given that so many people are spelling Cecilia differently to how I like it I think that's going out!

Clara.

But do love Bea

I love Cecilia. Clara and especially Beatrice are much more popular so if that's a factor I'd go with Cecilia. I knew a Cecilia who was very kind abs think of it as a 'kind' name IYSWIM

Alita7 · 14/08/2014 01:42

I love all 3!

If I had to put them in order I'd say Clara, Beatrice, Cecilia.

Alisvolatpropiis · 14/08/2014 01:54

Cecilia is lovely.

Then Clara.

Beatrice is not my favourite.

thoughtsescapeme · 14/08/2014 02:13

Love Clara, and think Cecilia is gorgeous. I've never met a small Cecilia so might go for that one.

SummerScoop · 15/08/2014 20:22

Clara
I prefer Cecily to Cecilia.

SweetPea3 · 15/08/2014 20:24

I love all three and can't choose one over the others! You can't go wrong really! :)

pebblestack · 15/08/2014 20:27

Love Clara. Classy and not too common.

maggiethemagpie · 16/08/2014 02:22

Clara. Prefer Cecily to Cecilia. Don't like Beatrice
