I wouldn’t have thought of it on my own, but the Calamity [name]Jane[/name] thing is a bit of a turn-off.

You have some nice choices here. I like [name]Naomi[/name], [name]Diana[/name], and [name]Ellen[/name] a lot. Personally, I love [name]Elaine[/name] the best. It has nice Arthurian connections and isn’t very common at all right now. It’s one I wish I could use…but it weirdly kind of rhymes with my husband’s last name.

I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]!

4

I like [name]Elaine[/name] a lot, too. What middle names would you put with it? My husband and I just can’t seem to come up with any!

Thanks!

[name]Claudia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is very pretty. I like [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Naomi[/name] and [name]Ellen[/name] very much as well. I voted for [name]Elaine[/name] though. It’s such a beautiful, under-used name. Some middle name options:

I love all of your choices! Except I love [name]Diana[/name] more than [name]Diane[/name]. And [name]Ellen[/name] isn’t really in style, but I think you would be so brave to name your daughter [name]Ellen[/name]. [name]Elaine[/name] is my second fave on your list because my Aunt [name]Elaine[/name] was such a wonderful person.

[name]Claudia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is cute, and, hey, what’s so bad about Calamity [name]Jane[/name]? She was macho. Macho women are so cool.

[name]Claudia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]

I don’t like [name]Naomi[/name] that much. I prefer [name]Noemi[/name]. But lots of our posters on Nameberry love [name]Naomi[/name], so there must be something lovable about it.

[name]Claudia[/name]: I love the name [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Jane[/name], and for what it’s worth, I don’t think of Calamity [name]Jane[/name] when I hear it. :slight_smile:

Sorry for repeats!

[name]Claudia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] (oops…not with Shooter…I forgot about the last name…)
[name]Claudia[/name] [name]Frances[/name] (oops…not [name]Frances[/name] with Shooter…)
[name]Claudia[/name] [name]Louise[/name] (ditto…Sorry!)
[name]Claudia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]

[name]Diana[/name]: I really love [name]Diana[/name], too, and the [name]Annie[/name] nickname. :slight_smile:

[name]Diana[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] (oops…[name]Blythe[/name] Shooter is hard to say…)
[name]Diana[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]

[name]Naomi[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name] [name]Violet[/name]

[name]Ellen[/name]: I like the other names more, but every [name]Ellen[/name] I know has been very sweet. :slight_smile:

[name]Ellen[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Ellen[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Ellen[/name] [name]Sophia[/name] (popular, though)

[name]Elaine[/name]: I think it’s pretty, but I like the other names more, only because I have a family member with this name who has never been happy with it. You may also like [name]Helena[/name]…

[name]Elaine[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Elaine[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]

(I forgot about the last name at first, so I’m sorry about that!) :slight_smile:

Good luck!

Neither do I. [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is a very classy name, a beautiful classic that will be as fresh in 100 years as it is now (I think).

[name]Don[/name]'t settle for a lesser name. However, if it is the [name]Jane[/name] part that is giving you a hiccup then easy find another beautiful name to team up with [name]Claudia[/name], but don’t lose [name]Claudia[/name].

WDYT of [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]?

15

[name]Claudia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is lovely. I wouldn’t worry about “Calamity [name]Jane[/name]” since people don’t generally use a person’s middle name when referring to them.

16

I love [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. And, to me, it sounds Nothing like Calamity [name]Jane[/name]. (Although that would make an adorable NN, if you were so inclined.)

17

(I didn”t vote in the poll, sorry. :confused: )

I absolutely adore [name]Claudia[/name], thus the meaning has never truly bothered me. (; As for Calamity [name]Jane[/name], I never really thought of that. All I can imagine is a gorgeous blonde little girl like [name]Claudia[/name] from the Vampire Chronicles (whom I love), a strong-looking and beautiful [name]Roman[/name] woman, or a stunning blonde woman with a gothic hood on and a crow. Anyhow, I also love [name]Jane[/name] ” it is strong and classic in its simplicity, but I would never say ”boring”. [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] has a gorgeous sound to it; it all fits together very well, and if [name]Claudia[/name] has meaning to it, then I”d definitely go for it. But, if the combo”s really not doing it for you, I”d love to give you some more suggestions:

[name]Dinah[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Claudette[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Deirdre[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Charity[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Clarity[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Enola[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Christine[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Emilie[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Clio[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
Chrysanthemum [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Crispina[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Jane[/name]/ [name]Katharine[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
Crina [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Elle[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Elena[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Carys[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Finola[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
No”mie [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Noemi[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Claudie[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Claudine[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Claudita[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Claudina[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Clodia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] I could help a bit! (:

I think [name]Claudia[/name] is a wonderful name, and it sounds nothing like Calamity to me. I absolutely think you should go for it.
That said, I don’t know if [name]Jane[/name] is the perfect middle name for [name]Claudia[/name]. There’s nothing wrong with it, but I think you could do better becuase 1) [name]Claudia[/name] has a sort of exotic sound to it that doesn’t quite match [name]Jane[/name]; and 2) I think it’s nice for a mn to have some personal significance or family connection.
My vote would be for [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Elaine[/name] ([name]Elaine[/name] to honor your Mom [name]Ellen[/name]).

I know sometimes it isn’t great to have a first name that ends with vowel and a mn that starts with one, but I happen to think that [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Elaine[/name] works well (perhaps because I tend to pronounce [name]Elaine[/name] with a long e-sound as “ee-lane,” but obviously if you pronounce it “uh-lane” it doesn’t sound so good; I think, however, that [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Elaine[/name] as a full name invites the long e pronunciation).

For the record, I also adore [name]Naomi[/name]!

19

I voted [name]Claudia[/name] - I love [name]Claudia[/name]! The Calamity [name]Jane[/name] bit wouldn’t bother me at all, and like pp said could actually be a cute nn you call her sometimes. If Calamity [name]Jane[/name] bothers you too much, I would change the [name]Jane[/name], not the [name]Claudia[/name]. [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Elaine[/name] was going to be my suggestion, so I second pp!

Thank you all so much for your feedback and suggestions. I feel so much better about [name]Claudia[/name] now! I agree with others that [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Elaine[/name] would also be a good choice. I do like the fact that [name]Elaine[/name] has the same meaning as [name]Ellen[/name], so it would be after my mom in a way. My husband had concerns about the vowel sounds that thought it might end up sounding like [name]Claudia[/name] [name]Lane[/name]…We’ll have to carefully consider these two, but I think we’re pretty stuck on [name]Claudia[/name] now. I appreciate everyone’s honest feedback and suggestions.
