Which do you prefer and why?

I've always favoured Claire, but Clara is a family name (great grandma) and it's really grown on me recently.

Also, FN or MN? What would you pair it with?

Well my name is Claire so I'm biased :p
I don't mind Clara though but it's pronounced a few different ways and I only like it pronounced like CLAAAR-uh not Claire-uh or Clarra if that makes sense

I think it's a nice middle name too... perhaps I like it more as a middle name. As my first name, it can be boring, but I like how it is unassuming. It's not overly frilly or feminine, but it's not a masculine name either, and it's not too trendy or modern, nor is it old fashioned... you don't really jump to any conclusions with the name Claire. So it's an easy name to live with, apart from the fact that it rhymes with heaps of words :p
