Claudia or India?

[pgwithnumber3]

Right it is me again, I know, I know, I know I liked Cecily but I have gone off it, don't know why. Claudia and India are both names I have loved for a while but never thought I would use them for one of my own children but I am getting desperate...

So, which one is the nicer?

DD1 is Grace, DD2 is Maya

Thanks everyone, I do think Claudia is more suited to the colouring my children seem to come out with. Unless DD3 comes out with the Polynesian gene which is in DH's family, I think it will be Claudia. However if she shocked me and was my only DD to come out with very dark hair, then India would be a consideration.

Anyone have any one syllable middle names that go with Claudia?

ann?
jane

Like both but only Claudia if it is pronounced Cloudia,not Clawdia. Think if push came to shove I would go for India personally though.

strangely i always think of an india with blonde hair

Claudia

Claudia from me too

Claudia. There are lots of Indias around here...

India

I don't like the name Claudia particularly.

Claudia - definitely

Love Cecilia as well (Lia for short)

I love Claudia. Top of my list for DC3 if it's another girl. However I think India goes better with your other 2 girls names somehow. Both very pretty names IMO.
Congrats on the 3rd girl - that's what we're hoping for too!

funny how it is so popular and i have only met 2... one a grown up, one a @ 9 year old

India imo

Claudia

Like India too though

Imo India is not pretentious. Our DD is India (so obviously I think it is a beautiful name! ). However, if we had named her Indya for example, that really would be affected!

We have decided on Claudia as we already know an India and I haven't heard of one Claudia so it would be nice to be a bit unusual! DD1 has even started saying "when Claudia comes" which is really nice.

Love India but think Claudia is more classic and more suited to an older lady.

actually you can't have it cos its taken

Claudia i like best...but maybe thats cos my name is Claudine!!! lol

Had to reply to your thread again as we seem to have v similar taste!

I definitely prefer Claudia to India.

It is also one of the names I am considering is baby 3 is a girl (although Cecily is higher on my list). I think it is pretty and classic without being overused. The only downside is the meaning though that wouldn't put me off personally.

I'm not too keen on India tbh. I'm afraid I just think of the country!!

Also really like Eve btw

Claudia - India (to me) is a bit Ab Fab

both horrible

actually, I think it depends on what she looks like and how the name fits with your family, so can't advise

Was just with the cutist little baby girl the other day who was called Cecily. And it reminded me of a woman I used to know called Celie which apparently was short for Cecily....

sorry I've been no help at all

Claudine is unusual and fab

This made my laugh. My two good friends in a particular circle of friends are Claudia and India! Claudia is a red head and India is blonde.

I think they are both very pretty (and I think India suits a blonde girl perfectly well too) but I prefer Claudia with your other dd's names. How about Olivia as another option with a similar feel? (Or as that has 4 syllables perhaps you could keep it, along with Cecilia, for DD 4!)

ooh no not india
my father wanted to call me this and luckily my mother's sense prevailed
