I think Clara is a really sweet name, but only when pronounced CLAH-ra. Clara Violet is my fave out of the combos you had listed. I also like Clara Jane, Clara Sophie, Clara Zoe, Clara Phoebe and Clara Madeleine.

I've always pronounced it CLER-a. It's a nice name and more interesting that plain old Claire, IMO.

How about Clara Magdalene or Clara Odette?

Interesting

I love Clara (CLAH-rah) and have just recently started liking Claire! I think Clara is a beautiful name whichever way it is pronounced.

In swedish I prn it CLAH-ra but in english I prn it CLER-a. And Ia lso prefer it spelled Klara.

This is one of my favourite names of all time. I can't tell you when I started loving this name because it was so long ago.

As for pronunciation, I use the CLER-ah pronunciation, unless I'm referring to someone who pronounces it differently in her native language. For example, when I speak of Clara Wieck Schumann, I use the KHLAHR-ah pronunciation.

As for combos, Clara Violet is very sweet and old fashioned. Very nice. My own favourite is Clara Eugenie, but I also like:

---

Clara Louise
Clara Eloise
Clara Josephine (as in Frau Schumann)
Clara Catherine
Clara Juliet
Clara Seraphina
Clara Eleanor
Clara Felicity
Clara Johanna
Clara Joanna
Clara Jane
Clara Henriette
Clara Isotta
Clara Niamh
Clara Victoria
Clara Birgitte
Clara Giselle

I've always said it like Claire-uh. I love this name.

I just thought Clara Josephine. Clare Adelaide is nice though.

I personally prefer CLAH-ra. It's so graceful, very elegant and a lovely alternative to Claire (which I do marginally prefer but I'm kinda biased = full name Claire Georgia Wilhelmina "Georgia").

How about:

---

Clara Evangeline
Clara Lenore
Clara Leonore
Clara Yasmine
Clara Helene
Clara Charlize
Clara Mariette
Clara Ismeme
Clara Isabelle
Clara Elizabeth
Clara Mirine
Clara Laine

Beautiful name, beautiful combos. I love Clara.
