These are the popularity charts from the social security web page for the last 25 years. Claire looks like it's still climbing. It was recently used on a oap opera (Days of Our Lives) as a baby's name too, which I think is an indication of it going still higher. I think Julianna and Elise look pretty similar in their rankings. I prefer Julianna myself and would probably go with that one.
