Anastasia
Anastasia is elegant, beautiful, and has an interesting history. The meaning 'resurrection' seems to express the hope that the child will always rise up again no matter what the challenges or obstacles.
Clara is simple, clean cut, and traditional sounding. It conjures up images of a plain maiden aunt or a harshly strict housekeeper in a period drama. I'm not terribly familiar with St. Clara, so the only other association that comes to mind is the spoiled rich girl in "Heidi" who learns to walk. The meaning 'bright' is nice.
Anastasia Clara makes a nice combo. Anastasia imbibes Clara with some much needed romance, Clara balances out the length of Anastasia and offers simplicity.

Anastasia ...
It's prettier, more intriguing, more elegant, and a tad mysterious.

Because I love the name Clara, and although Anastasia isn't a bad name, Clara is infinitely better.

Clara, definitely. Less is more.

I love the sound and associations of Clara (as CLAH-ruh); it's a feisty, energetic, fun name in my opinion, with the added bonus of a good meaning. It's one of my favourite names (in the top 20), and it has personality and a wonderful image.

Definitely Clara, which is one of my favourite names and was my great-grandmother's name. I find it simple and elegant. My only fear is that it is quickly becoming very popular and while I'm not fixated on a name being 'unique', I think it can be tiresome for the bearer if they are always one of many.
Anastasia I loved when I was younger but I now find it fussy
