Cannot decide between the following names, i have a mum and a mother in law who do not keep their opinions or suggestions quiet so i need to be firm in my own mind so arent swayed by one of them in my post birth hormonal vulnerable state

Clara ---love it but worries it will get mistaken for cara and also seems popular on here? dont want a faddy name
Megan - too boring? our son has welsh name would go nicely
Jenna - not sure i like Jen but could grow on me also would go with our sons name
Hannah - too boring? or classic?
Lydia - love Lyds as nn but is it too biblical?

I like Clara, Hannah and Lydia. Clara Lydia is a great combination.

Megan is super popular where I am and Jenna sounds dated (I also have a personal aversion as a bully at my school was named Jenna, so I may be biased there.)

Lydia biased We also call her Lyds.

I think Clara and Lydia are both really lovely names. If you decide to use them both, make sure it's Lydia Clara, not Clara Lydia (for the reason spacepoodle said - although I think it only applies if you put the two names together).

The rest of the names are nice too.

Clara - very pretty, seems to be quite trendy at moment but not sure how long for

Megan - Nice

Jenna - My favourite from your list. Not something you hear everyday

Hannah - BIt bland (sorry)

Lydia - Beautiful my second choice

I have a Megan and Lydia was also on my list, Megan won out for me because my other dd also has an 'm' name and I liked the way they sounded together.
Clara is lovely too and would have been on my list but her middle name is Claudia and Clara Claudia doesn't sound good!
