Clara
What do you think of Clara for a girl? I think it's charming. Do you see it getting common? Do you know any girls named Clara or Klara? Which spelling do you prefer?Do you prefer Clare or Claire over Clara and Klara?What do you think ofEstella Jane, Phoebe Cosette, Mary Victoria, Elinor Christian, Daisy Elsa and Clara Emmeline for sisters?

I love Clara and I think it is simple, yet pretty. I don't think it will get common, but the trends can change quickly with celebrity baby names. I know one Clara. I like both spellings, but I don't prefer one over the other. I prefer both over Clare and Claire.

I prefer Claire.
I have a problem with Clara - the pronunciation clair-uh comes to mind but I've no idea whether it or clah-ruh occurs to most people. Thus I'm confused, and have never seriously considered the name.
Clara Bow is clair-uh to me. How should it be pronounced?

I love Clara. It's recently moved back onto my short list. I prefer Clara to Klara.I don't know anyone with the name.At present, I prefer Clara to Clare, but it's usually the other way around. (I only like the spelling Clare.)Those names are nice for sisters. They go together very well.

It's alright, but Claire is so much prettier to me. I adore the name Claire. I think it works for a little girl, but also a woman

I love Clara! I'd conjecture that its popularity will gradually increase; however, I doubt the name will become immensely common.I'm acquainted with two individuals named Clara -- one is 17, and the other is approximately 40.I'm thoroughly enamored of Clare, and I consequently prefer it to Clara. However, I strongly prefer Clara to both Klara and Claire.I admire Estella Jane, Mary Victoria, Elinor, Daisy, and Clara Emmeline; alas, I think Phoebe and Christian -- particularly the latter -- clash significantly with the aforementioned names.

I like Klara best from all those variations. I know 3 girls named Klara and they're all younger than 5. Sorry, but that sibset has to many Es and Cs for my taste. I do like Estella, Victoria, Elinor, Daisy and Klara.Klara Emily flows better though, imo.

I love Clara! I don't think it's very common at all. I knew a girl in high school named Klara.
