HelpClaire Margit
in reply to a message by Mommy to be
Claire seems quite popular on the board, and I know one 6 y.o. Clare, and of the three names you've listed here it's the most common (#98 or so on the SSA's list)...BUT...Elise and Julianna are trendier, if less common, and imo lack the strength and timeless quality of Claire.

PS: my rationale for Elise and Julianna being trendier is as follows- Elise sounds like the elegant French alternative to the insanely popular Ella and Alyssa, as well as a light version of favourite Elizabeth and a subtle way of honouring a Lisa. I've heard this one A LOT around here (i.e. Vancouver, BC). When I first heard it I rather uncharitably wondered if the parents (not you, the specific parents of that young lady) were subconsciously attracted to the name because it's just a phoneme away from elite.
Julianna- Anna is insanely popular (though I love Anne and we're considering that one), and as a suffix it's even more insanely popular- Julian(n)a, Lil(l)iana, Adrian(n)a, Viviana, Gianna, Lian(n)a, Brian(n)a, Tian(n)a...the long and sultry feminine names ending in -ana and -ella are so popular it's not funny!
