I posted a week or so ago with a very long list. The list is a bit shorter now - some names removed and there are some new as well!

Middle name will be Claire.

Lydia
Nancy
Martha
Hazel
May (really like this but not sure Claire works as middle name?)
Connie
Polly

Would be great to get thoughts / ranking on these

Love Lydia..think it goes nicely with Claire.

Hello19834 · 29/04/2026 21:17

100% Lydia. Lydia Claire is gorgeous

TheyGrewUp · 29/04/2026 21:17

Love Martha

Hello19834 · 29/04/2026 21:17

Connie Claire doesn't sound right to me to be honest. May Claire doesn't sound right either although I love May as a first name.

Menoooo · 29/04/2026 21:18

I really love the name May! I also love Mae. I think it’s so underused as a first name.

Like the idea of a one syllable first and more than one syllable middle name actually.

Hazel is lovely.

Roulett · 29/04/2026 21:41

Hazel

StartupRepair · 29/04/2026 21:42

Lydia, Hazel and Martha are all lovely.

Sunshineclouds11 · 29/04/2026 21:43

Love Lydia

Viviennemary · 29/04/2026 21:51

Hazel is nice. I like Connie too.

mellongoose · 29/04/2026 21:53

Lydia, Martha or Hazel 👍

needlesandhaystacks · 29/04/2026 21:54

Lydia!

Bunnyofhope · 29/04/2026 21:58

Lydia, Nancy, or Hazel.

OliviaBonas · 29/04/2026 22:00

Lydia

FindingMeno · 29/04/2026 22:01

I don't think May, Connie or Polly go with Claire as a middle name unless you inserted another middle name between the two.
My favourite is Nancy Claire or Connie Martha Claire.

Heidi2018 · 29/04/2026 22:02

Love Nancy, Martha, Polly

Not a fan but nice Lydia, Connie,

Hate Hazel, May.

The first Hazel I ever knew wasn't nice to me and it has tainted my opinion of the name.

Tellmetomorrow57 · 29/04/2026 22:04

Lydia ❤️

Lydia Claire sounds lovely and I think it would go with any length surname

Giraffehaver · 29/04/2026 22:27

Hazel Claire sounds yum!

LilyLemonade · 29/04/2026 22:44

May Claire doesn't go well, sorry.

Martha or Lydia are the best in my view
then Hazel or Polly

Such pretty names and I love the name Claire too.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 29/04/2026 22:45

Polly

Twoshoesnewshoes · 29/04/2026 22:46

Nancy
lydia
martha

Mumofgirls2017 · 29/04/2026 22:48

Nancy, Martha, Hazel or Polly!

user2848502016 · 29/04/2026 22:50

Lydia goes lovely with Claire

Also like Martha and Hazel

May is pretty but not with Claire, don’t like Connie or Polly

Raquelos · 29/04/2026 22:53

I really like Constance Claire, which gets you to Connie, and gives her a "grown-up name" if and when she wants it

StationJack · 29/04/2026 23:51

Just pick the first name you like best. Most of them don't really go with Claire.
