Clara or June?

We named our little girl [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. She’s now nearly six months old. We love the name [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and had every intention of calling her that. However, we’ve called her Junebug 90% of the time and now sometimes just [name_u]June[/name_u] or [name_f]Junie[/name_f]. Now extended family and friends have begun calling her [name_u]June[/name_u] or [name_f]Junie[/name_f]. Which name do you like better? [name_f]Clara[/name_f] or [name_u]June[/name_u]/[name_f]Junie[/name_f]? What goes better with siblings [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]? Thanks!

I think both names fit in well with your set, I actually like [name_u]June[/name_u] a little more as, especially paired with [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m], it gives the set a summery country vibe.

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is the better fit with [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].

I love the simplicity of [name_u]June[/name_u].

I know a little girl named [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]! (but she’s a little over 2 now)

I like both names and both fit well with the sibset. If you’ve naturally fallen into the habit of calling her [name_u]June[/name_u], as have friends and family, I’d stick with it. Since she’s nearly 6 months, there’s a decent chance she may already recognize her own name, so it’s best to keep to what she knows.

Both are lovely names and work with the sibset. I would just keep calling her the name that has evolved and seems to fit her until she is old enough to express a different preference if she has one.

I like the name [name_u]June[/name_u], nickname [name_f]Junie[/name_f] better than [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. [name_f]Junie[/name_f] goes well with sister [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]. Both are cute and nicknamey. Your other names seem fresh, while [name_f]Clara[/name_f] feels outdated to me.

Good luck!

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is sooo lovely. If I were you I’d keep the combo as it is and simply call her with both first and middle names. Many people answer to multiple names (me included) and we never have any issue. I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] fits better with your other kids’ names, but Junebug is so cute indeed.

I much prefer [name_f]Clara[/name_f], but [name_u]June[/name_u] is sweet and if that’s what you mainly call her, I think you should continue to do so.

I love both names, but [name_f]Clara[/name_f] would win it for me. I have a good friend called [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and she is a very wise beautiful soul. I would probably go with others advice and leave the combo as it is, if you feel you naturally gravitate to [name_u]June[/name_u]/[name_f]Junie[/name_f] there’s no problem in calling her by her second name even if your other kids go by their firsts. In our parents day that was completely normal - they tended to order names more for flow. Call her whichever she ‘suits’ and what feels right by you and your immediate family. She has a beautiful name. GL

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is much prettier, [name_u]June[/name_u] to me is very outdated, although [name_f]Junie[/name_f] is a sweet pet name.

They are both very pretty and both completely fine with the sibset, but [name_u]June[/name_u] strikes me as particularly love (and if you are already calling her that…well, that’s her name!)

I have a little [name_f]Clara[/name_f], so I’m biased. Both are adorable, though.

Exactly! [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Junie[/name_f] are so sweet and bright, and the story of how her name has evolved is precious :slight_smile:

The lovely [name_u]June[/name_u] gets my vote!
