Clara?

[AlyTab]

Ok so after thinking we were settled on our girl name (Cora), we came up with another name that we like. Would like your opinions on the name Clara. We were thinking of maybe Clara Rose (we are massive Doctor Who geeks). :)

Another question - Clara or Cora? :)

Much prefer Clara to Cora

Weirdly I do like Oswin too. Bit on the nose though and I have been know to like unisex names that lean more towards the masculine side for girls, like Remy for instance. Doesn't really bother me though, it's our child after all and it's not like we're naming our baby "Blueberry Unicorn". Honest to goodness we know someone who named their child that. Her nn is Blue though. Very off topic there 😆😊

Clara Rose is lovely, prefer it to Cora

When I had my DD, I went Clara to Cara to Carmen.
I think the spelling Claire is nicer than Clare.

Definitely prefer Clara. It reminds me of the Nutcracker, Dr Who, Heidi, Porgy & Bess and Clara Schumann.

Clara and Cora are both nice names, reading them together makes me think of an Upstairs Downstairs scenario though. Probably just me!

Are you pronouncing it as Claire-a or Clah- ra? I know one of both. I prefer the Claire-a pronunciation, but I'm not sure why! I also love the name Cora and as pp mentioned Cara is also lovely. You can't go wrong with any of your choices, really. ☺

Absolutely love Clara.

I think Rose is too over used as a middle name though, and I wouldn't link my dd's name to a TV show.

I quite like Clara. Cara's nicer though. Or Carla?

I really don't like Cora though.

Would be pronounced Clah-ra. It wouldn't just be because of the tv show to be clear, it just made us realise how much we like the name as we hadn't thought of it until we started rewatching the series together :)

We were also thinking of these combinations.

Clara Paige

Clara Alexis (My name is Alexis)

Clara Hailey (Hailey was one of our original choices. And it's going to be spelled this way.)

Clara Hallie/Halley (after Halley's comet)

Clearly we are still very undecided on the matter. We have our boy name sorted it was easy - Leo. (I know we have quite a few space related names but my fiance is really into astronomy, as am I :) )

I prefer Clara but it's mega popular for babies around here - SE
That might not bother you though.

Clara rose is beautiful 😍

Thank you everyone. You ve been all very helpful :)

Clara is lovely.
