Hi, this is the last time i need your opinion because we can't decide.
Claire April Rose
Claire April Elise

I like Rose a little more. But not sure in this combination Smile

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Elise is a much nicer name than Rose.
I do prefer Rose and April to Claire though.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 11/01/2021 12:25

Claire April Rose B... or Claire April B. I dont really like Elise.

Claire is a lovely name - it's only because there are so many Gen X Claires that it's become over-familiar. It's a beautiful, classic French name.

The people who call it boring probably called their daughters Amelie or Isabella - which will be in the same position in 20 years.

I prefer Elise.

Also the OP didn't ask for any opinions on Claire.

No one has called the name Claire boring. I was just wondering why OP has chosen the name after meeting 4 recently Hmm

I don't like Claire, but I do like April Elise.

Apologies - no-one called it boring - you are right. 'Dreary' 'out of fashion' and 'dated' were the terms used.

No I am not a Claire Yoni Grin - I have another 'dreary', 'dated' Gen X name much loathed on here so I obviously empathise!

I asked (genuinely) why the OP had chosen Claire, not out of snidiness but real interest what the story was behind the choice. I was ignored. 🙁

@lemonsquashie

Wow, is Claire making a comeback?

It is indeed. OP named her baby Claire in November but changed her name when she was days old. She is now considering calling one of her twins, due in March, Claire.

I think Elise sounds better than Rose.

I think Claire April Rose sounds like a description? Light April Rose!
