Claire feels softer in comparison.
Clara feels a little coarse but still pretty. I'm an American and we don't have enough old women named
Claire for it to feel dated to me. Some elderly Claras though I still don't see it as too dated.
Claire Elena is my favorite of the list.
I prefer
Claire when stand alone but
Clare if it is a NN for a Clar- prefixed name
Please rate my favorite names list if you have a spare moment, thank you :)
