Re: Claire, Rachel, Naomi
in reply to a message by a.red.red.rose
I like Rachel. It's common but I don't think it's boring, and it seems smart and friendly.
Naomi is cute. It seems old fashioned but also classic/timeless.
Sometimes I like Claire. It depends on the combo, but in general I'd prefer Claire as a middle name and something else like Clara for a first name. It's elegant but not as friendly.
I really like Anne, but it also seems like more of a middle name to me.
Judith is nice but maybe strange as a first name on a young kid.
Some combos-- Rachel Anne, Rachel Naomi, Rachel Judith, Naomi Judith, Naomi Rachel, Anne Claire (works better if you pronounce Anne the German way)

Middle name will be Cecelia.
In that case I think Anne or Claire works best. Rachel, Naomi, and Judith are too earthy for Cecelia. Normally I'd avoid double initials but Claire Cecelia sounds good.
