HelpRe: Claire/Clare
in reply to a message by oceanorchid
If used by an English speaker without a French inflection, I prefer Clare or Clair. Clare looks clean and unaffected and the pronunciation is apparent.
If it is meant to be pronounced the French way, then Claire.
Edited to add that, according to Merriam-Webster, Claire (ˈkla(a)(ə)r, -le(ə)r): a small enclosed pond for growing or observing the growth of oysters
