A sister for Clara

[candycanesforever]

Holly
Dylan
Annabella

Any thoughts?

Holly is my favourite but does it seem dated now?

Dylan is a boy's name and it's a bit love it or hate it. I don't love it.
Holly is nice esp for a Christmas birthday.
Prefer Annabel or Arabella, both gorgeous, to Annabella.

I love the name Clara! I don’t think I’d have another name ending in -a though so would rule Annabella out.

I only know boy Dylans so wouldn’t use that either.

Holly is ok.

What about Nancy? I know two sisters called Clara and Nancy-think they go really well!

I have a Clara, so I love it.

I'd suggest Annabel instead of Annabella (as a pp said, I wouldn't have two -a names). It's the most similar to Clara in style.

Dylan is very American to me, and just doesn't compare to the timeless beauty of Clara.

Holly is ok, but I don't love it.

Of yours, I like Holly best.

Clara was on our shortlist for DD - we only didn't use it because it rhymes with our surname (and having a name that makes you sound like a superhero might grow tired). Other names on our shortlist were:

Rose
Eleanor
Lyra
Lila

I actually like Holly.

Dislike the other two, sorry.

What about?

Connie
Iris
Maeve
Belle
Olive
Cleo

Annabel sound better.

Clara is classic, feminine and a little old fashioned (in a good way!) so I would try to complement that and don't think the other names do.

Elizabeth?
Lucy?
Isobel?

Annabella

How about Heidi?

Wouldn't Clara and Heidi be a bit contrived?

Phoebe

I really like Holly.

My suggestions are Avery or Elodie.

Please don't Dylan on a girl. Especially where her sister will have a beautiful feminine name like Clara

I like Holly but love Annsbella

How about Anastasia?

Holly!

Was going to suggest Heidi too.

Of yours Holly is my favourite but there are quite a few of them round these parts.

❤️ Holly.

I think Annabel works better with Clara. Annabella is too frilly. Holly is nice, but it doesn't "go" as well with Clara. Dylan is a boy's name. Definitely not Heidi - that would be weird.

Clara and Annie

Heidi

Oh thanks for the names.

Couldn't do Heidi.

Your right about Dylan. Was DH choice.

Hmm and Annabel is possibly better than Annabella.

You can't have Heidi with Clara!

Not unless you live in a log cabin and long for strength to return to your feeble legs.

Helen
Esther
Briony

Clara and Annie were two of my great grandmas 😀

Annabella is the nicest out of the three.

Dylan is a boys' name and Holly is so outdated and boring (sorry).

Clara is lovely. What about Chloe, Elsie, Polly?

Love Dylan for a girl!

I have a Clara and a Dylan but the Dylan is a boy!
