Pascale is lovely.

I like the sound of Pascale but if it is v old-fashioned in france then I'd go for Claudia.

Pascale

Love Claudia, it's top of my list, does anyone really care about what their name means?? I don't care about mine and I don't even know what my friends names mean! Who makes up that sh*t anyway!?

love claudia, but we have one so maybe biased. she is 4 months and it totally suits her...go for it!

Pascale.

As for what's fashionable or not in France, consider the enduring popularity there of Kevin...

Claudia sounds a bit harsh or masculine to me.

Bonsoir, I love the quaint Profil Psychologique for each name

"Does anyone really care about what their name means?? I don't care about mine and I don't even know what my friends names mean! Who makes up that sh*t anyway!? "

No one makes these meanings up! If you've ever studied Latin or Greek, you will know that many words/names are derived from these languages. In the case of Claudia, the Latin word 'claudus' happens to mean "lame,crippled".

What does your name mean mopsyflopsy?
Has it affected your life?

rachel234 · 03/07/2010 10:55

The meaning would put me off Claudia, to be honest. Shame, as it is a nice name otherwise.

I agree, if you've ever studied Latin you will find it hard not to see the meanings of many names...

mopsyflopsy · 03/07/2010 10:59

NiceCuppaT, as you ask, my name means 'Beautiful Serpent' .

Has it affected my life? Hard to say, but I quite like my name's meaning.

Claudia is lovely.

Pascale sounds like a boys name imo.

talkingnonsense · 03/07/2010 11:37

Do you say claudia to rhyme with lord at the beginning, or like cloud in the sky? Jonathan Ross and elle mcpherson doing it each way last night!

LetThereBeRock · 03/07/2010 11:45

Claudia is lovely.The meaning of the name wouldn't bother me. It's not very often that one has to discuss the meaning of one's name.

Hedwig3 · 04/07/2010 07:49

Claudia

yama · 04/07/2010 10:37

Claudia gets my vote.

As for meanings - my name means 'servant' and I'm no-one's servant.
