What do you think of the name and how popular is it? Thanks.

I love it. It reminds me of CJ in The West Wing, and it is on my list. But I just looked up the meaning, and I immediately see the problem.

Love the name. Always remember Claudia in "The babysitter's club" books

I knew one at uni- she was very chic and interesting with a great sense of humour and a vespa scooter. Kinda cool.

I teach quite a few. It's a popular polish name, though spelled Klaudia and pronounced Cloudier.

I love it too. I wanted to use it for dd but dh thought it was 'too German'

I have a friend called Claudi pronounced Cloudy - really lovely and unusual - her Dad is German which is where the pronunciation comes from.

I prefer the 'Cloudier' version. It's like that in Spanish too.

I know a 1 year old Claudia. She's lovely

To Tambajam you could say 'Cloudier' rather than 'Clawdia' as per Claudia Schiffer?

What about the 'Cloudier' way of saying it? German?

I know several in their 30s but no little ones. Yes, the meaning would put me off, tbh.

Nice name, but the meaning has alway put me off, unfortunately...

I know 1 of about 45, one of 11 and one of 8.
No little ones though - and i don't hear it being bellowed in the street at all either.

The fact that it means 'lame' does put me off slightly, but I like it.

Someone in my class is called Claudia> I quite like it, but Dh always brings up the line from interview with a vampire-"Claudia you've been a very naughty girl."

I know a 3yr old. She's lovely but I find the name a bit harsh-sounding. Always think of claws.

I know several my own age (ish) but no little ones
