Opinions on these names please

[kimberoo]

We have chose Clara for a girl but we would like to double barrel it, I know double barreling is not to everyones taste but we like it and feel it would go better with our last name that begins with a C and ends in R, we love Clara so that is 100% our choice but we are not sure what flows better with the name Clara, we would love some opinions on which is better please.

Clara-Rose
Or
Clara-Sofia

Thank you in advance

Also we are english so we pronounce it as Claahh-ruh.

A lot of people dislike hyphenated first names. Do you want your child to have a name that many people will dislike?
When names are hyphenated, usually only the first of the two gets used.
Clara Rose is much nicer than Clara-Rose, and Clara Sofia is nicer than Clara Rose, which IMO has too many Rs.
Clarissa is nice.
Double-barrelling or joining two names tend to make both names less pretty.

Too many R's in Clara Rose for me.

Clara-Joy
Clara-Jane
Clara-Beatrice

Thank you for your opinion. DH doesn't like Clarrisa but i love it. We were also not sure about the hyphen, you are right, i think we will drop the hypen but we do like the name double barreled.

There's nothing to stop you calling her Clara Rose or Clara Sofia when she is a baby. If you want to use a hyphen, then you can. It is ok in other countries, like France, Sweden and so on. It's just considered a bit naff in the UK.
Anne-Marie and Marie-Claire seem ok.

I prefer Clara Rose.

Of the two, I like Clara-Rose the best.

I prefer Clara Rose of the two. I have a soft spot for Jean as a second name and think Clara Jean would help the double barrelling regain a bit of cool somehow. Like Norma Jean or Billie Jean.

Clara Rose is lovely.

Like them both in theory but Clara Rose doesn't flow so well to me as you have to restart the R - ra-ro sounds a little clunky. Clara Sofia flows better but is quite a mouthful.

Love the Clara Jane and Clara Jean suggestions. Think a single syllable second name would work best.

Clarissa is the proper spelling btw.

I know a Clara Rose. When I heard her name I just though Clara is nice but Rose is so blah now. For that reason I would chose Clara Sofia

Clara-Ann
Clara- Louise
Clara- Faye
Clara- Beth
Clara- Kate
Clara- Nicole
Clara- Sue

Im guessing you might be a Connor???

What about Clara-Beth? Or Clarabeth.

I agree that Clara Rose has too many Rs.
I like Clara Sophia. Also like pps suggestion of Clara-Beth
Other Ideas.
Clara Mai
Clara Jess
Clara Jane
Clara Daisy
Clara Faith
Clara Maude
Clara Jasmine
Clara Lily
Clara Grace
Clara Evangeline

Thank you for all the suggestions and opinions, I like Clara Kate and Clara Daisy, very pretty.

Clara Rose is better than Clara Sofia, which is too much of a mouthful, though I do see what people mean by the "r" sounds in both Clara and Rose. Don't hyphenate them. Clara Belle? I'm not sure about that either.

Clara June
Clara Blythe
Clara Maeve
Clara Eve
Clara Faye
Clara Grace
Clara Joy
Clara Pearl

Clara-Eloise.

Really, don't hyphenate. Not sure what your name is, obv, but Clara Carter/Clara Connor/Clara Chester sound fine IMO.

Please not Clara Belle - isn't Clarabel one of the cringily-depicted token-female-passive-twittering coaches in Thomas the Tank Engine?

If your last name IS Connor, please be mindful that there's a Carla Connor in Corrie which is very close. If however it's something like Carter, crack on!

Clara Rose - the repeated R makes it very clunky.

Clara Sofia is lovely and runs much better.

Why not just have the two names without the hyphen? Invariably, the child ends up going by just the first name and it is a pain in the rear when they grow up if their legal name is a hyphenated one that they don't use. Pick a lovely middle name, and call her by both names of you want to. Rose is very very common as a hyphenated name at the moment. Sofia is more unusual.

Clarabel. As in "Annie and Clarabel".

Clara Sofia is better than Clara Rose. Fewer repeating R sounds.
