Baby girl due in just a few weeks and still stuck for a name, which do you prefer?

Our surname is fairly long , think Anderson.

Ciara is nicer than Clara but there both lovely names

Both lovely.
Eliza has the edge for me.

@chunkybear , I think you mean they're.

Indeed I did, think that was an auto correct / momentary error as my spelling and grammar are usually pretty good and those mistakes piss me off usually too! But I’m just a meek soul and can make mistakes from time to time like anyone else lol 😂
there was a full on row on a different thread recently about someone making a grammar mistake that someone corrected so be aware it can get you some backlash - personally I’m not bothered, at 53 with a good career, educated to PhD level 25 years ago from a RG uni, I’m not proud, I can take a comment on my mistakes 🤪

@chunkybear , thanks. My inner pedant got the better of me.
I make typos quite often. Smile

This thread made me smile. My DD is Elizabeth, known mostly as Eliza which I love. We also call her Lizzie. We’re not planning to have any more children, but if we ever did then Clara would be my top choice for a girl. Honestly I don’t think you can go wrong with either - they are both beautiful names.

Clara.
I like it. Short, easy to spell, easy to say, it's a very sweet name, lovely for a little one and a very nice name that will grow with your child through adulthood.
