This was my great-grandmother's name. For years, I considered the double fn Clara Mar as a way of honoring two women in my family. Now though, I have extremely bad associations with the name because of a girl I know who I was extremely close friends with and who said and did some insanely hurtful things towards me.

I suppose I still like the name - you are right, it is sweet and classic. I think it carries well and is not dated.
