Is it too much of a rhyme?

Love the name Clara, but surname rhymes… as in O’….
Would it be okay or silly? Would it even matter?!

Clara O'Hara? No.

This

I really like Araminta, but I don't think it flows well with your surname.

Edith would work brilliantly, lovely name.

As for Clara O'Hara... I love it Grin but the fact that other people feel so strongly against it would put me off, sadly.

I love it

PeraltasWife · 08/03/2023 23:43

I think Clara O'Hara is a beautiful name, yes it rhymes but it flows so nicely. If you love the name go for it

Edith flows better but Clara is a beautiful name so I'd go with it anyway!

Edith O’Hara is great. Araminta I like but I find Araminta O’Hara slightly hard to say- it’s like an elocution lesson in a name. A lots of As.

Minty O'Hara sounds good though.

Edith O’Hara is beautiful.

I like Edith but spelt like Edyth. For what it's worth I much before Clara

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/03/2023 20:07

Edith O’Hara is lovely

Or Meredith if you want something more unusual

Flora
Stella
Oona
Emma
all work in place of Clara

or
Alicia
in place of Araminta which is nowhere near as mental as Clara O’Hara but is too awkward to say

Yes, you definitely can't use that.

My surname is Hill and one of my favourite names is Lily, but Lily Hill sounds a bit stupid so I've never used it. Same with Matilda nn Tilly.
