Which name would you pick if you had to choose between either please? Both match sibling names and surname. Neither are my first choice but my husband isn’t keen on that and likes both and they are the closest to a compromise I think. Thank you.

Beatrice 100%
(aside My daughter’s middle name is Beatrice (I wanted it her first name but my husband wasn’t having it although she absolutely hates it with a passion :-( but I still love it)

Beatrice makes me think of Maureen Lipman as Aunty Beaty.

I love Clara
I wouldn’t want the prince Andrew connection with Beatrice

I don't really like Beatrice at all, but I do like Bea. For me it has slightly stuffy vibes.
I love Clara!
