How popular is Clara?

[Aprilshowers24]

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

I have one in her mid teens, the only one in her school & dc5(6) has one in his class, also the only one in the school. I know of 1 other, who'd be 10 or 11 now too. It's still my favourite name & Dd likes her name too.

I have never taught one in nearly 20 years so unusual I would say.

My grandmother was called clara. If I'd had a daughter i would have used the name. Its beautiful imo.

I know one, 12yo

I went to school with one so she’d be in her late 30s now, I also know of one newborn called Clara (the sister of a student I teach born last month). Don’t think I know of any others.

I’ve only ever met one who will be in her early 30’s now, it’s a lovely name.

Beautiful name

My Nan was Clara, she pronounced it Clare-a, I know 3 more under 5's and they are pronounced C-lara

I love it and considered it but the pronunciation issue put me off. I know in America it would be Clare-a.

I know one 3 year old Clara.

I love Clara.

I would have named my daughter Clara, however we live in Australia and I don't like it with the Australian accent

My cousin is 48 and the only person I know with the name Clara .
Lovely name

I know a 6yo Clara too! Have only met 2 others, both under 11.

It's pretty popular here South East. Same group as Arla Isla.etc. we thought we had an original classic name for our (8 year old) but sadly not anymore !

I know 2. Both reception age.

I know 2 and have met a 3rd. All under the age of 5. I’ve never met any before that! It’s a stunning name and the 2 I know well are both wonderful children.

I know loads sadly. It's a lovely name but seems to be growing in popularity

I know a 7yo and a 6 month old baby Clara, in South west.

I know 2. One is 9, one is 13.
