Middle names are family names.

Clara Florence

Thanks

Both lovely.

JacquelineCarlyle · 05/12/2021 01:17

I agree - both lovely.

buckeejit · 05/12/2021 01:21

agree, both great. I have a Florence & she's great 😁

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/12/2021 17:43

Both lovely sounding names, assuming you don't mind how popular Noah is at the moment.

DramaAlpaca · 05/12/2021 19:36

I like your girl's name option very much, but I don't like Noah at all. Aside from it sounding whiny I'd privately think 'not another one'. Sorry, but you did ask.

Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo · 05/12/2021 19:40

Noah Ray sounds like No Way.

Love your girl name though.

Luredbyapomegranate · 05/12/2021 20:42

Nice - I'm not made on Ray but it's not that bad.

sparklytriceratops · 05/12/2021 20:47

Really dislike Noah, sorry. Too trendy and common now, and sounds negative for obvious reasons!

Clara is lovely though

Kite22 · 05/12/2021 21:06

I like Clara and Noah.
Not so keen on the middle names, but possibly they are 'named after Grandparent' names ?

Adventing · 05/12/2021 21:42

Both lovely

NigellaSeed · 05/12/2021 21:43

Kinda hate Clara. Sorry. Noah is a great name, always liked it.

Prefer Florence Ray for a girl :D

Youkilledmyfatherpreparetodie · 05/12/2021 21:44

Both really lovely

RuthW · 05/12/2021 21:59

Love them both

Edenember · 06/12/2021 00:05

LOVE Clara Florence ♥️
Not keen on Noah but going by popularity I’m very much in the minority.

Udouhun · 06/12/2021 12:21

I like Clara Florence. Not a fan of Noah at all but I detest most biblical names.

ofwarren · 06/12/2021 12:25

Both nice but Noah Ray sounds a bit like go away. I think you need a longer middle name for Noah.

emmathedilemma · 06/12/2021 12:41

Clara Florence is good
Noah is good but Noah Ray doesn't work together.

BingBongToTheMoon · 06/12/2021 12:56

Both good names.

DukkaTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 06/12/2021 13:27

Love both! Clara is also really popular, not just Noah.

Yes, both middle names after a parent / grandparent
Missisip · 09/12/2021 00:55

We’ve since decided on Noah Michael Ray for our boy’s name.
Ray is a late family member’s name and he was always known as Ray never Raymond.

Kanaloa · 09/12/2021 01:05

Really lovely names. I like Noah and Clara both, and both very wearable names for any age.

Elisemum · 09/12/2021 13:59

Both sets of names are really lovely! You will never get everyone to like your chosen names, it is impossible. Don’t let the negative responses put you off. I’m fairness and I’d never criticise any names that people chose becouse what’s the point? Just becouse I may not like a name doesn’t mean that others will feel the same.
Unless it’s a very stupid made up non-name which sometimes pop up on these forums- then I say that it’s bad!
I really do like your choices/

ISaidDontLickTheBin · 09/12/2021 14:07

Clara Florence is nice - Clara is crazy popular round my way at the moment (if that bothers you). Personally I prefer Cara to Clara.

Noah Ray doesn't really flow very well, but people don't tend to say middle names out loud much so not sure if it matters. Noah is nice but was really really overused about 5 years ago.
