Hi! We're due our first child in 8 weeks and are stuck for a girls name between Clara and Nina. What are people's thoughts? What do you think of the names? Need to help to decide!!! Thanks Smile

Neither are to my taste but I'd probably choose Nina. Good luck Smile

Clara is most favourite name, especially for a winter baby girl!

Sallygoroundthemoon · 30/09/2018 08:41

Both lovely names but Nina would be my choice.

Floyella · 30/09/2018 08:42

Clara. But they're both great.

Sunshiness · 30/09/2018 08:42

I'd go with Nina which to me has a nicer sound and Clara is also very popular at the moment.

AutoFillUsername · 30/09/2018 08:46

Both lovely names. Classic yet not overused and both strong sounding. Nina is probably my favourite due to how international it is, it will travel well and age well, plus I love Nina Simone.

Clara

teabag20048 · 30/09/2018 12:22

I love Clara

LeeMiller · 30/09/2018 12:25

I love both.

Clara is definitely having a surge in popularity at the moment if that bothers you.

Shadow1234 · 30/09/2018 12:33

Love Clara
Do not like Nina at all

LydiaLunch7 · 30/09/2018 12:40

Nina by a long way.

daisypond · 30/09/2018 12:46

I like both. Probably Nina.

Laac · 30/09/2018 13:28

I love Clara.

HumphreyCobblers · 30/09/2018 13:31

I have a ten year old Clara and whilst it is creeping up the lists rapidly still have never met another one. She wishes she was called something else because you never get her name on a mug or a keyring Grin

I love Nina too though.

Sorry, that wasn't helpful?

KathDayKnight50 · 30/09/2018 13:31

Both pretty, but I do prefer Nina.

Ozgirl01 · 30/09/2018 13:49

Both are nice, but I love Clara.

BackIntoTheSun · 30/09/2018 13:51

I like Clara

cheeseoverchocolate · 30/09/2018 13:53

Clara for me

FogCutter · 30/09/2018 14:01

Love both these names!

If I had to choose I'd pick Clara

MikeUniformMike · 30/09/2018 14:06

Nina. I don't like Clara.

lmstepho · 30/09/2018 20:16

Thanks everyone! Sounds like a bit of a mixture! I preferred Clara but DH prefers Nina so it's given us something to think about! Hmm

Clara! I don't get the Nina love. It's plain and reminds me of a dinner lady at my school when I was a kid ( a long time ago )

Ellynewmum · 30/09/2018 21:12

Nina!

Clara sounds a bit stiff to me.. I'd prefer Ciara..

mostdays · 30/09/2018 21:23

Clara, one of my absolute favourites:)

Sungura · 30/09/2018 21:32

Clara is my preference.
