Baby girl due in 4 days! Help please :)

See the results of this poll: Due in 4 days! Which name?

Respondents: 47 (This poll is closed)

  • Clara : 14 (30%)
  • Adela : 19 (40%)
  • Vivienne: 14 (30%)

[name_f]Adela[/name_f] is just beautiful! Second choice would be [name_f]Clara[/name_f]

I’m not sure how to pronounce [name_f]Adela[/name_f] - is it [name_m]AD[/name_m]-uh-la with emphasis on first syllabel or A-[name_u]DELL[/name_u]-ah with emphasis on 2nd? I know one who pronounces it the first way but not sure if this is usual? I much prefer [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or even the more streamlined [name_f]Adele[/name_f] though. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is my first choice from your list.

[name_f]Adela[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] are my favourites on your list but based on your chosen nicknames, I would choose [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] ([name_f]Vivi[/name_f]). If I chose [name_f]Adela[/name_f], I wouldn’t use a nickname as [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is soooo common and [name_f]Della[/name_f] seems rather plain in comparison to [name_f]Adela[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], but any of them would work well I think. Out of curiosity, do you pronounce [name_f]Clara[/name_f] as “CLARR-uh” or “[name_u]CLAIR[/name_u]-uh”?

Honestly, they are all great! I did vote for [name_f]Adela[/name_f], but you can’t go wrong with these choices!

I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is a great, solid choice. [name_f]Adela[/name_f] & [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] are both lovely too, but I do think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] works beautifully with [name_f]Elise[/name_f] & [name_u]Evan[/name_u].

I think [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] works perfectly with the sibling names. It kind of bridges the style and sound of the brother and sister names while remaining distinctive.

Thanks for your input and insight. Our baby girl arrived in a hurry with little notice on the morning of Dec 7th at home - delivered by her Dad! <3

We have named her Clara Catharine and she already has the nickname “CC” :slight_smile:

Thanks again everyone. Really appreciate your help in narrowing down our name selection prior to her arrival.
