[Opinions] Re: Nina, Clara or Greta?
in reply to a message by Perrine
I adore Clara pronounced KLAR-ə. It is magical, lyrical, adventurous, and somewhere between refined and down-to-earth. It is also a little sexy and mischievous, it has some fire in there but also water. Since I have never known a Clara well so I have few expectations for what she would look like.
Nina feels like a ballerina name. Nina Nina Ballerina. Nina tends towards being quiet and possibly shy when young. She is sweet and loves the color pink. She is also artistic and loves to dance. She will be more vibrant as she ages. I associate it the most with the elements of water and air - the name especially sounds and looks airy. I was very close to two different Nina's growing up. One was shy and the other was more colorful but both were very empathetic artistic people. Both had brown hair and brown eyes - one was black and the other was white - but I can imagine this name suiting anyone of any ethnicity.
I have never known a Greta but I have liked the name for years. It is some how both short yet heavy. It makes me think of the bounty and strength of the earth. It is sexy in a curvy sort of way. It makes me think of jazz music and old school Hollywood charm. I usually image it as being a name of someone who is black or white. I have a harder time imaging someone who is Latina or Asian or Middle Eastern with this name.
I think I slightly prefer Nina to Greta but it is close. All three are great names.
