Classic Germanic name

The Wild West love interest from Back To The Future 3. To me she is the definitive "Clara".

Lovely, classic, old.

I like it...but I’m obviously biased Smile

I don't like it much. Prefer Claire but that was too popular in my age group. Lara or Cara would be possible options. Ciara, Chiara? Pronunciation and spelling problems. I think Ciara might be pronounced Keera, and Chiara Kee-Ahra? Ciara on a not clear print looks like Clara.

Character in Back to the Future

Dr. Who companion.

My Nan, it was her middle name. Thank you for making me think of her. It's made me sad and cheered me up all at the same time.

Cracking name.

I know one, and she’s bloody marvellous.

Nothing to do with my username whatsoever 😂

SandysMam · 27/12/2017 22:09

Silence of the Lambs!! I know that was Clarice but still makes me think of it!!

Prictoriafeckam · 27/12/2017 22:11

Beautiful name, can't be shortened/nicknamed, classic, international, it's been around for centuries but still uncommon. My daughter's name, in fact and she loves it. (We named her before Doctor Who).

WLmum · 27/12/2017 22:16

Long distance! Not a bad name, but the connection is so strong for me.
