Re: Clara or Marie (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Definitely Clara. Marie is nice enough but a bit bland and slightly dated.
Clara is similar to Lara - which I also like - but it is much nicer. KLAR-ə is my favorite pronunciation. Clara is musical, sweet, mature, but simple in a refined way.
I have never known a Clara but in passing. I have known many Marie's. All the Marie's I've known have been great people who were odd balls but that always just made me like them more. Well except for two Marie's, one of whom bullied me but at the same tried to be my friend. The other was my nana's sister who betrayed the family so my nana never spoke to her again. This happened before I was born so I've never met her.
Clara I associate with the Nutcracker character and in more recent years the Doctor Who companion.
