Eudora makes me think uterus. It's one of those names that is from the past and should stay there. Clara Lynn and Clara Zoe are fine.

Isn't Eudora the Outlook Email click alternative????

The only reason I'm not too keen on Clara Eudora is because of the two "ra"'s. I love your choice of Clara Zoe. :)

Was going to post to say the same, so I'll just piggyback here: in both names, there is a stressed penultimate syllable followed by a -ra. That tends to make a combo a little rhymey.

Yep, that's what I was going to say aswell. Even just the fact that they both end in "a" is enough for me though.

Reminds me of email, sorry.

Clara Lynn has the nicest flow of the three choices you posted.

I love the name Clara, but Eudora makes me think of software, Zoe of a muppet, and Lynn sounds dated without being old-fashioned.

I disagree with everyone else. I think Clara Eudora sounds fine. There are two "ra"s but the D helps break it up. And with a last name I think it would sound great. I've never heard of the Eudora software so I don't make that association.

Clara Lynn has to many Ls and I kind of stumble over it when I say it and Clara Zoe is fine.

Eh, sorry, don't like it. Clara Lynn is adorable.
