Clara Mabel or Clara Emily?

Both lovely (not helpful).

Clara Mabel!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 16/10/2017 20:21

Clara Mabel.

I think Clara Mabel flows better when you say it aloud - perhaps because with Clara Emily you're ending the first and starting the second on vowels.

Smoliver · 16/10/2017 20:52

Both are pretty. I prefer Clara Emily, but it seems I may be the minority

Clara Mabel. Lovely name.

WomanEmpire · 16/10/2017 23:24

Clara Mabel is lovely

SuperBeagle · 16/10/2017 23:27

Clara Mabel flows better, but I don't like Mabel at all.

The vowels at the end of Clara and beginning of Emily clash. But if that doesn't bother you, then I prefer Clara Emily.

Love Clara! We considered it for DD but it doesn't work with our surname.

It's a gorgeous name.

Ooh Clara Mabel BTW

Sophronia · 17/10/2017 00:28

Clara Emily

AnyaMoondial · 17/10/2017 00:38

Clara Mabel. Glorious.

Clara is so lovely that it doesn't matter what you put after it.

I am always surprised it isn't more popular. I am in the US and I met one little girl called Clara (she must be 22 now) in daycare with my son and that is it.

Clara Mabel flows better.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/10/2017 08:16

Clara Emily.

Choccyhobnob · 17/10/2017 09:33

Oh I love them both. Clara doesn't work with my surname

@choccyhobnob Does it work with mine? It'll be Black.

Clara Black is a wicked name!

Olivelor · 17/10/2017 17:14

I would go for Clara Mabel. It sounds beautiful and matching.

maddiemookins16mum · 17/10/2017 18:11

Clara Mabel - one of the nicest names I've seen on here in a while, really lovely.
