Clara Ann sounds a little dated.
Anne and
Ann were very popular as a middle name for women of my generation and up to 15 years younger than me. Nearly every woman my age seems to have the middle names
Anne,
Ann or
Louise and I’m 39. The A at the end of
Clara also runs into the A at the start of
Ann. If it was me I would avoid an A middle name but this is just personal preference as I have the same issue with my name. My first name ends in an A and my middle name is
Agnes.
Clara is not very common here and I live in Scotland.
Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from
