[Opinions] Clara

So, we are really loving Clara. The sound, the way it "fits" with Rosemary. We just love it. However, nothing flows with it as a middle name. The only thing we think could be decent is Clara Audrey. Audrey is for my grandmother
Any ideas?

Maybe go with Audrey Clara and call her Clara? I'm quite liking Clara Beatrice too.

I also remember AshJ's daughter is called Clara Jayne Aroha.

While I like both names, I'm not really into the vowel of Clara running into the vowel of Audrey. Are there any other family names you'd like to use? WDYT of Clara Juliet? It just popped into my head.

Oh, Clara Paulette! What a great suggestion. We concidered Paul as a middle name if we had a boy to honor my grandfather. Thanks, I hadn't thought of that.
Rosemary is my older daughter's name. Not a name being concidered.

Clara Audrey is lovely. Think of some other family names you can use as mn's if you're stumped, as you seem to prefer mn's with meaning (I understand that perfectly :b). Rosemary and Clara sound PERFECT for sisters, btw. Great choice!

I like Clara Madeleine.

I think the A at the end of Clara and the A at the beginning of Audrey kind of clash and awkward to say.

I like:

Clara Adeline
Clara Beatrice
Clara Evangeline
Clara Emily
Clara Frances
Clara Genevieve
Clara Hazel
Clara Imogen
Clara Josephine
Clara Margaret
Clara Penelope
Clara Violet

I think Clara Audrey sounds fine and would encourage it since I love when middle names are being used to honor people, but I really am not a big fan of Audrey.

Clara is beautiful. Short and simple, yet classy and not dated. Clara Audrey sounds nice enough, I think.

Some other ideas:
Clara Margaret
Clara Elizabeth / Elisabeth
Clara Elise
Clara Eugenia
Clara Virginia
Clara Susannah / Susanna
Clara Josephine
Clara Fleur
Clara Penelope
Clara Johanna
Clara Isidora
Clara Euphemia
Clara Eudora
Clara Louise

I like Clara quite a bit. I also like Clare, which I think flows a little better with Audrey, but I like Clara a lot, too. The flow for Clara Audrey isn't great, though, with all the varied A sounds.

Clara Beatrice
Clara Violet
Clara Margot
Clara Frances
Clara Margaret
Clara Catherine / Katherine
Clara Helene
Clara Eleanor
Clara Louise
Clara Lucille

Clara Beatrice is very nice

I do like Clara a lot, but I prefer Clarabel.

- August (Sid)

I thought of Clara Louise also, but Louise doesn't really mean anything to us, and I'm not all that fond of it.
I know Clare flows better with a lot of names but we like Clara and the flow with a middle name wouldn't be the most important thing.
