Claudia

[CedarTreeLeaf]

What are your thoughts on the name Claudia? I really like the name of a versatile girl name that can travel in many countries and ends with an "A". Any suggestions are welcome

I love it! Classy and a bit unusual without having to spell it or tell people how to pronounce it. My husband didn't like it, it would've been in my top five.

I like it (I work in a school where many brats can ruin a name , we have over 3200 students so this is a good sign for me!)

I think it’s a great name

Love it.
Makes me think of the very beautiful Claudia Cardinale old gimmer

Love it.

Lovely name.

Also Camilla, Laura, Jemima, Saskia, Lucia.

Love it (disappointed DH vetoed it )

I like it. Pronouncing it the English way (claw-dia) or the most-other-European-languages way (cloud-ia)?

I’m not keen on it.

Love it!!!

I really like it.

I love Cloudia, not so keen on Claudia.

Do you prefer the Cloud pronunciation or the Clawd pronunciation?

Either way I think it’s a lovely name

Nice classic and classy name.

I love it. It makes me think of the wonderful CJ (Claudia Jean) in the West Wing

Absolutely love it - very elegant, feminine name.

I like the name but dislike the meaning.

The meaning (claudus - lame/disabled) puts me off unfortunately. It's such an obvious meaning too (in Latin).

Yes the meaning is unfortunate. I'm not sure if I can get past it, especially if it's obvious to others.

I dislike it think it’s too harsh and really don’t like the meaning of it either!

What about;

Cecelia
Cordelia
Sophia
Amelia/Emilia
Georgina
Alexandra
Louisa
Selena
Mariana

LOVE!!!

Gorgeous.

I have a massive thing for Clara too.

I love it. Elegant, strong, timeless.

I love it. I still hate DP for vetoeing it

We have one in the family, she is Claw-dia with I prefer to cloud-ia.

My favourite girls name is Lydia but we're not using it now because it's too close to Claudia - so maybe that would be a good alternative?
