Clara or Greta?

[Mum8]

Which one do you like more?
Clara or Greta?
Clara keep thinking about, in our list for a while. Greta a new idea,but someone I know only at work used it. But I find it sweet. Clara we will pronounce like Tara and Greta with e as in men and a soft t in ta. Will either work in the UK? We are not German btw, though one of DH's ansestors was German.Our last name is a Spanish one.

They are both really lovely names.

Greta.

The only issue with it, that I can find, is that people will pronounce it Gredda when speaking quickly. But I do love the name.

It still has Greta Garbo associations, unlike Ava which has lost its Ava Gardner association due to its popularity over the last 10 years.

Clara as prettier & I would only pronounce that way.

Clara, much prettier sound

I love them both, but were vetoed by DH. I very slightly prefer Clara. Both pretty and unusual names though

Clara is beautiful. Greta makes me think of a gnarly old witch!

Clara sounds normal/softer letter wise but is slightly boring. Greta is my favourite though. It's not rare and obvious to pronounce. It makes me think of black and white film stars.

Both nice.

Clara goes better with a Spanish surname, I think.

Greta.

Clara is objectively 'prettier', but I think it's becoming the new Ava/Ella/Evie.

Greta is more quirky-cool.

Clara is lovely, Greta sounds / looks really ugly to me

I love both but they are very different sounding to me- Clara is very soft and Greta quite harsh sounding.

Greta

Clara. Like a pp says, it goes best with a Spanish surname.

I find Greta quite hard sounding.

Greta is more unusual nowadays which I prefer. Clara is pretty but I know of quite a few lately.

Greta

Clara, Greta sounds harsh

Greta. I don't like the 'khlar' sound of Clara.

Clara.
Don't like Greta.

Love Greta so much so it's on my list for dc3! It's cool, quirky and edgy whereas Clara is sweet but blah.

Greta

Was on my list for DD

I really love both, but had them vetoed by husband. I love Greta slightly more.

I like Greta.

I had a baby girl 3 weeks ago and a few night ago I had a dream where I called the baby Gretchen (not my 3 week olds name!) and woke up with slight name regret!
