Hannah or Georgia both lovely names

Is Clara pronounced Clair-a or Clah-ra? I think both are nice but she will be correcting some people, whichever you are intending. I like it best though, with Georgia 2nd.

I like Hannah best

I've never heard anyone say Clair-a! Always Clar-a.

Clara. Lovely name.

@aSofaNearYou , in Charles Dickens' novels, it's said as Clair-ah.
Maria and Sophia used to be Mar-eye-ah and Sop-eye-ah

DuchessOfSausage · 30/07/2023 13:45

Soph-eye-ah

My granny was a Clara and she pronounced it Claira!

Florence or Hannah.
Clara is lovely but seems to be about to become trendy I've seen it mentioned a lot across various naming forums.

Clara seems to me related to my grandmother's age.
Hannah, too many Hannahs , and probably find most in 20 and 30s IMO. My husband's ex wife used to call their daughter Hannah, Han, but her twin Charlotte, she would call Char. I found this a bit common, but the least said about that the better.
Georgia, I like , but does tend to call Georgie sometimes, but never heard shotejed to George
Florence I like , but I am not sure if Flo .
How about Eloise, or Louisa.

Clara

Hannah and Georgia are dated.

Florence is my fav (I have an adult one) but they will get calked Flo.

Chevrotains · 30/07/2023 20:39

Oh, not really liking any of those tbh. Florence is the best

Geobebe · 05/08/2023 15:47

I'm called Georgia and have never in my life been called George or Georgie just want to put that out there. I wish my name was Georgiana though it's very elegant and the name of a famous English duchess

Daisybuttercup12345 · 07/08/2023 01:07

Hannah is my favourite 😍
Prefer Claire to Clara.
