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 Grin

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.

SadieContrary · 18/08/2019 17:26

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

Antonin · 18/08/2019 17:43

I think it’s a great name

EvenPhilip · 18/08/2019 17:46

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

whattodowith · 18/08/2019 17:48

Love it.

MollyHuaCha · 18/08/2019 17:48

Lovely name.

Also Camilla, Laura, Jemima, Saskia, Lucia.

Mintypea5 · 18/08/2019 17:50

Love it (disappointed DH vetoed it Hmm)

TaurielTest · 18/08/2019 17:55

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

LucieFurr · 18/08/2019 17:57

I’m not keen on it.

Chickydoo · 18/08/2019 17:59

Love it!!!

daisypond · 18/08/2019 18:01

I really like it.

Gladimnotcampinginthisweather · 18/08/2019 18:04

I love Cloudia, not so keen on Claudia.

AverageMummy · 18/08/2019 18:23

Do you prefer the Cloud pronunciation or the Clawd pronunciation?

Either way I think it’s a lovely name

Ellmau · 18/08/2019 18:26

Nice classic and classy name.

Lucyslampost · 18/08/2019 18:29

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

NoodlesMcGee · 18/08/2019 18:44

Absolutely love it - very elegant, feminine name.

DramaAlpaca · 18/08/2019 21:25

I like the name but dislike the meaning.

Sparklysunflower · 18/08/2019 21:38

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

CedarTreeLeaf · 18/08/2019 22:02

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

Krisskrosskiss · 19/08/2019 00:00

LOVE!!!

TemporaryPermanent · 19/08/2019 00:01

Gorgeous.

I have a massive thing for Clara too.

Astronica · 19/08/2019 00:43

I love it. Elegant, strong, timeless.

TaraLaraMara · 19/08/2019 17:23

I love it. I still hate DP for vetoeing it Angry

mistermagpie · 19/08/2019 17:27

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?
