Adeline or Clara?

We are having our 3rd girl and are debating between [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Addy[/name_f]) or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. The middle names for both are family names.

We have 2 other girls [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] ([name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] are all family names too).

Thanks for your help!

They are both gorgeous, but [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] gets my vote.
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would be AAAAAmazing.

I love the name [name_f]Clara[/name_f]!

I know several Adelines, so I’d use [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. Plus, it’s nice and short like the other girls’ names.

I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] both [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] & [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and I think both of your combos are wonderful! However, based on big sisters names, [name_f]Molly[/name_f] & [name_f]Lily[/name_f], I vote for [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] feels a little too long, and [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Addy[/name_f] is too rhyme-y / repetitive sound for me. [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Clara[/name_f] sounds a bit better. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is gorgeous. Also, [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] fits with the older sister pattern of short FN and long MN. If this is probably your last child, then I would stick to this pattern, but if you’re planning on having more, it may be nice to switch it up so you don’t feel too “stuck” with future baby name challenges!

That said, you cannot go wrong! [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] “[name_f]Addy[/name_f]” is a BEAUTIFUL name and I think any little girl would be happy with either name! :slight_smile:

p.s. I disagree with previous poster about [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], I definitely prefer [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]!
p.p.s. I love your older daughters names as well!

[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] feels too long next to [name_f]Molly[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is the better pick!

I love both [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], but think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] works better with your daughters’ names :slight_smile:

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is just gorgeous!
Iam not a fan of [name_f]Adeline[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
I once heard it pronounced [name_f]Claire[/name_f]-uh, which threw me off. I only like it if pronounced Clahr-uh (rhyming with [name_f]Star[/name_f])

I like both options, but I think the somewhat shorter [name_f]Clara[/name_f] would be the logical choice with the names of your girls.

I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] the best!

I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] feels like a better fit with the big sisters names, as well as being a stunning name. [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is a gorgeous name too.
I really like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] matched with [name_f]Clara[/name_f], really nicely balanced.

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
and
[name_f]Clary[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

I have a [name_f]Clara[/name_f], so that gets my vote.

I love both. But if you go with addy do you want 3 y ending names?

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] would be lovely. I like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] too, but I tend to get confused about the pronunciation of all the -line names.

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]!

[name_f]Clara[/name_f]!! It’s a beautiful name

I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is the better match with your daughters, however they are both lovely names.
