I like it. Probably not enough to use it, but I would definitely enjoy seeing it more often. I have two associations with this name: the first is a girl named Claudia who shared my last name and was a few grades ahead of me in school- nearly every year a teacher would ask me, "Are you related to Claudia L____?" or "How's Claudia?" I got pretty tired of being asked after a while. The other association is the character from The Babysitter's Club books, who was my favorite of the main girls. I totally wanted to be just like her when I was about 10.

I dislike the meaning and the sound.

I love to see any classic reborn so Claudia always gets a thumbs up from me. Sometimes the "clod" part puts me off, but I can usually overlook that to the wonderful ancient Roman association. It drips with history.

I thought I was so clever with the combination Claudia Naomi until I realized that two supermodels from the 1990s were inhabiting my subconscious. I still love the combination but I have Claudia Helen / Claudia Nell as a back-up. Oh, and Claudine Aurora (if that counts).
