I like the name Claire but am wondering if it's too popular. Any other ideas?

hi

Obviously my name is Claire and Im 31. There were lots of Claires whilst at school and even at work now but dont know any little ones. If I have a daughter I would probably use my name as her middle name ( perhaps ) as I think its quite a pretty name.
Go for it set a revival
