So, it's a girl! Which of these names?

[MrsPeeee]

My two favourites are Clara and Claudia. Any thoughts? Is Clara becoming really popular? Apparently Claudia means 'lame' but I'm not too fussed about that. Would she be though?

Clara. Sweet and simple.

Would claudia be clawed-ia or cloudier pronunciation?

Clawed-ia if we used it.

Clara is the favourite I have to admit!

Clara is beautiful. I work in a children's ward and we havnt had any new born Clara's - I don't think its that popular at all. Congratulations!

Claudia, it's more unusual and very pretty.

I know a Cara and love that. However heard another child being called Cara recently (same age and area)

I also know a Claudia - both lovely names

Both are lovely names.

I prefer Claudia. My brain starts the Long Distance Clara song from Pigeon Street when I say Clara. But I appreciate that's my problem...

Absolutely love both of them, so no help at all! What mn are you thinking of?

Clara is more popular and on the rise. Claudia, less so, currently.

I prefer Clara, it's simple and elegant. If you want more unusual try Clarabel or Clarissa (or something in that vein) shortened to Clara.

Clara is reminiscent of a cat's name.
Claudia is gorgeous, timeless n classy. I think u kno which I'd choose!

Clara

Clara

Ooh, never thought of Clara - I love it!!

Both nice names.
Which goes better with your surname?

I love both but prefer Clara.

Clara

Clara is reminiscent of a cat's name.

Surely Claw-dia is more reminiscent of a cat's name

Claudia.,beautiful name.

Both good names but I like Claudia best.

Another vote for Clara.

Clara edges it over Claudia for me. Although recently I seem to know quite a lot of babies called Clara if that matters to you. DH is German and about every third women there in her 30's is called Claudia (prounounced Cloudia) so in my head it feels like a common name but I know in the UK it isn't.

Clara is beautiful.

I love Clara, and don't know any.
