How popular is Clara?

[Aprilshowers24]

How many do you know of, and roughly what age are they?

I don’t know any (South Wales).

I know of one, Reception age.

I know 1 (a year 11 so 16 approx) in my school. Absolutely beautiful name!!!

I know one who's mid-40s and one who's 10. So I don't think it's overused at all. Lovely name

I know a toddler and a couple of secondary aged kids called Clara. It's a lovely name!

I love it - but sor don't know any.

I know if non but it’s on my list of we are luckiest to have another, it’s a beautiful name.

I know a toddler Clara.

I don't know any, but it's a really lovely name!

I have a 6yo Clara, and we've met a few more. There's another in her school but not in her year. Needless to say, I think it's a lovely name ☺️

I also have a 6yo Clara & have met a few more! I think it was in the top 100 girls names in 2017 so relatively popular.

I have a fifteen year old Clara. We recently met another teenager but that is the only one we know. I think it is a really elegant name and doesn't get shortened.

Don't know any.
It's lovely though.

Know one in East Midlands Year 6

I know two, both mid-teens.

Know one who is 35.
I think it's very uncommon and a beautiful, elegant name

I was going to call DD2 Clara in 2016 but then realised as DD1 was Amelia I had a bit of a Dr Who theme going on and changed my mind at the last minute.

I think I've only taught one Clara in 30 years of teaching. I work in a girls' school atm and I don't think we have any.

2 aged 5

I’m a 48 year old one 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a 1 year old Clara! I know a 6 year old Clara but no other babies - but the whole nursery class is A names - Isla, Aria, Lara, Ava, Bella, Ella, Marla. So while Clara itself less usual, it does sadly feel a little bit “trendy” when she’s in the mix with her peers.

It was my choice of girls name in 2004. My DS is now nearly 20! I still love it.

It is actually my middle name and I am pushing 50 :)

I know one other one aged 28 and that’s it.

Fab name.

3 under 11

It’s a nice name

I know quite a few, all under 6. (East London). My 4yo was very nearly a Clara but too popular!
