Immensely annoying Doctor Who character

Heidi, that’s the only Clara I can think of, have never met a real one

Heidi.

Showing my age there.

Lovely name though.

Tubbyinthehottub · 27/12/2017 21:12

Heidi or a posh person

IreneWinters · 27/12/2017 21:12

The Doctor's most irritating companion.
And Heidi. Although it's a very long time since I read that book, so I can't remember if there is a Clara in Heidi at all, never mind if she's a nice character or not.

Figgygal · 27/12/2017 21:13

That bloody doctor who companion utterly smug twat

ApplesTheHare · 27/12/2017 21:13

That train car off Thomas the tank engine... Clarabelle I think?

Givemestrengthorgin · 27/12/2017 21:13

Heidi. Lovely name

nancy75 · 27/12/2017 21:14

Clara is Heidi’s friend, when the first meet Clara is in a wheelchair & Heidi helps her walk ( I think that’s how it goes, it’s been years since I read the book)

RagamuffinCat · 27/12/2017 21:14

The Nutcracker. I love the name and the ballet.

Notthisnotthat · 27/12/2017 21:14

Long Distance Clara from pigeon street.

emwithme · 27/12/2017 21:14

Long Distance Clara, the lorry driver from Pigeon Street.

This hasn't stopped it being on our list though

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 27/12/2017 21:14

Heidi and then the adult Clara I know. She’s absolutely lovely fwiw.

There is also a Clara at my DD’s nursery who is very sweet.

I think it’s a nice name. Quite elegant and classic. I know it’s gained in popularity lately, but I wouldn’t describe it as trendy.

Shmithecat · 27/12/2017 21:15

Long distance Clara from Pigeon Street....

MockneyReject · 27/12/2017 21:15

Pigeon Street - Long distance Clara.
A positive association :)

MyBrilliantDisguise · 27/12/2017 21:16

I like it, but much prefer Ciara.

ChocolateCrunch · 27/12/2017 21:17

Heidi and also the Nutcracker ballet

Itsallfuckery · 27/12/2017 21:17

Definitely Long Distance Clara!

But....I love the name, and if I was to ever have another little girl, it would be top of my list.
