Cara.
I don't like Clara at all because of the Cl.
Cora too much like Cora Napple.

Nellephant · 07/02/2021 13:54

Cora.
Cara Delevingne puts me off Cara. I'm put off Clara purely by the fact that Mumsnet loves it so much 😂.
Seriously: they are all nice names. I may be biased in favour of Cora Wink.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/02/2021 14:18

Cara.

CloudPop · 07/02/2021 14:22

Cora is great.

ftmum94 · 07/02/2021 14:29

Cora! Not keen on Clara and Cara is very common and a little bland

NoSquirrels · 07/02/2021 14:30

Cora.

NoSquirrels · 07/02/2021 14:30

I also like Carys.

TardisThroughTime · 07/02/2021 14:31

Clara obviously 😉

Sausagedog1 · 07/02/2021 14:31

Cara, it has a lovely meaning (dear friend or beloved)

BiggerBoat1 · 07/02/2021 14:34

Cora is my favourite name ever! Beautiful.

The other two on your list are nice too!

JemimaTiggywinkle · 07/02/2021 14:36

Cora is my favourite, followed by Cara.

Clara always feels a bit more frilly to me, probably because of the nutcracker.

Ithinkhedidit · 07/02/2021 14:41

I like them all. If I had to pick just one I'd go for Cara. All are lovely though.

careermumofone · 07/02/2021 14:42

I have a daughter called Cara, I love it.

Magicbabywaves · 07/02/2021 14:45

Cora

CheshireCats · 07/02/2021 14:48

Not so keen on Clara, love the other two

HastingsSpoon · 07/02/2021 14:48

Cara

daisydalrymple · 07/02/2021 14:51

I always feel clumsy with the ‘l’ trying to say Clara. Prefer Cara and Clara to Cora.
Also like Carla

MiJulee · 07/02/2021 14:52

I love Cora

HenriettaHeffalump · 07/02/2021 14:53

Clara or Cora.

Not fond of Cara.

higgledypiggledyhen · 07/02/2021 14:53

Not Caaaar-raaaahhh

Cora or Clara are nice

TinyCake · 07/02/2021 14:59

Cora is my fave.

ILoveStickers · 07/02/2021 15:03

All nice! I think Clara is a little frillier, but you might be into that. Cara would be my favourite.

misslomi · 07/02/2021 15:07

Cara is my favourite, it's a lovely timeless name I think.

Fullofthejoysofspring · 07/02/2021 15:18

Cora is lovely and probably the most unusual of the 3, if that has any bearing on your decision.

ThatsnotmyBorishishairistoneat · 07/02/2021 15:18

Clara
