I have associations for both, so Ada makes me think of Ada McGrath from The Piano: a serious, dark-haired woman whose passions run deep. Clara makes me think of The Nutcracker. It's a daintier name, perhaps blonde, blue-eyed, and sweet.

Not what you're asking, but I love both names, especially Ada. I don't get why it's not more popular than it is. With names like Ava and Jada near the top of the charts, Ada seems like it should be a huge hit, but it's not. Undiscovered gem, I guess.
