No, I don’t think so. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] certainly does not sound too [name_m]French[/name_m], and most people will not know her middle name. I think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is lovely…the combo does give a sophisticated, [name_m]French[/name_m] vibe to me, but in a very good way (and not too strong a vibe at all)

Not at all! It’s a very pretty and sophisticated combo.

I don’t think so. I think both names are well enough established in English speaking countries so there isn’t a strong association with [name_m]French[/name_m].

Too [name_m]French[/name_m] for what?.. for someone not [name_m]French[/name_m]? I think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is fairly mainstream, and [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] feels vintage too, so I don’t think it feels distinctly [name_m]French[/name_m].

Sorry, too [name_m]French[/name_m] for some English Canadians.

Although [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is the [name_m]French[/name_m] spelling, I think the name is so mainstream and multicultural that it doesn’t seem particularly [name_m]French[/name_m] anyone. Its beauty is in its simplicity. [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is a little more [name_m]French[/name_m] but I don’t find it overly so. I do prefer the flow of [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] but [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is pretty too if a little similar to the word “carousel”. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I think it’s fine! Yes, [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] both have [name_m]French[/name_m] origins, but is [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] too [name_m]French[/name_m]? [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]? They all are [name_m]French[/name_m] names, as well, but they don’t sound too [name_m]French[/name_m] to me. I think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is really, really lovely.

Note that I am particularly partial to [name_m]French[/name_m] names. I think it’s stunning. So beautiful separate and even more so together. [name_m]Bravo[/name_m]!

Nope, I wouldn’t associate either of them specifically with being [name_m]French[/name_m].
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] is a lovely name and [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] goes with it nicely.
