Hello all, what's peoples views on these two names
Clara
Elara
I heard Elara today and it's so unusual. Finding it so hard to find girl and boy names that we like. Thank you!

Love Clara, dislike elara

I know three Clara but that's rare as not that many about. Strong name. Simple to spell. Classic. Lovely

Clara or Elora not Elara - it sounds made up.

Clara

Alana instead of Elara.

Sholkedabemus · 30/11/2023 22:34

I like Clara. I also like Dora.

I think Elara is awful. You will have people saying - what??? Clara is ok. At least its a name.

Clara is beautiful.

Would you consider Illaria? Very similar sound to Elara but an existing Italian name.

Clara seems trendy though Clara and Elara are sweet names.

I love Clara but it is having a definite moment so it is not the one for you if popularity is an issue. Elara is a minor figure in Greek mythology but it has a Disney princess vibe which is not to my personal taste.

Elara is a moon of Jupiter, I think it's a lovely name

MikeRafone · 01/12/2023 06:20

Sounds similar to the welsh name Eleri when it’s pronounced incorrectly, sorry

Emersonn · 01/12/2023 21:04

Thank you everyone!
Definitely leaning more towards Clara.
