Have a while to ponder these names but wonder if people think these are popular or are becoming ?

We've tried to keep out of the top 20, but failed with another DC's name, here goes.

Clare or Clare
Eliose
Sadie
Talia

DH likes Sally too but it's the name of a bunny boiler ex of my brothers

facebookaddict (like your name btw) never thought of county Clare - obvious as it is

Claire is definitely a wonderful name, pretty, classic, elegant, witty, charming, intelligent and you don't have to be French to have it.

Not that I am in any way biased, you understand. Or that I am one know anyone called Claire.

But Clara is also nice, as is Eloise. Not Talia or Sadie though, for my money.

Clare - must have been very popular about 30-40 years ago as I know (tots up) eight off the top of my head. None under 10 (or in fact under 28 or so) tho. (It's my middle name fwiw)

Eloise is nice, I only know one. Also one Sadie (she's a baby) that's rather sweet.

Don't know anyone, big or small, called Talia.

Eloise is lovely so is Clara.
I like Clair and would spell it this way (is this the original way?).
Not keen on Sadie or Talia.

I like Clara, prefer Natalia to Talia -- Sadie I always thought was a pet name for Sarah (which I like). Eloise is a bit fluffy, imo.

Clare is English. Clara is a feminine version of the Roman Clarus, hence Clara being used across Europe (Clare being the English version of Clara, used from the Middle Ages). Claire is the French form, and Clair is apparently the French version of Clarus, and for masculine.

Oh and County Clare was named after the Norman invader Richard de Clare, whose surname came from the English river Clare.

All you need to know about Clare . It's my mother's name.

Like Sadie,Clare, prefer Elise to Eloise.

Hate Talia/Tahlia

There are loads of toddler Eloises in my neck of the woods. May be the next Isabella/Isobel

I like Sarah/Sara too. Very much underused imo.

Sahra is nice too. It means "desert" in Berber. (ie Sahara).

Clare should be spelt Clare. End of

Thanks nooka didn't know all that about Clare/Clair /Claire!
Think the confusion over which spelling might put me off slightly so may be tempted to plump for Eloise

Sadie

Don't let it put you off!!

Personally, as a Clare, I love Clara. But DH said Clara is a cow...

Hmmm..

From your list I like Clara, Clare (obv!) and Sadie

All lovely.....

good luck!

LOL! Consider it done
