Honest feedback is much appreciated! We love both of these names. Last name starts with M and has three syllables ending in A. Big brother is [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] (both family names). What do y’all think?
Julia [name_f]Claire[/name_f] M__a
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] M__a
Thanks so much for your insight!
They’re both so pretty! I think [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] would be the perfect sister for [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u].
Julia [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is pretty 
Claire [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] is lovely!! I like [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], but it doesn’t sparkle for me like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] does!
Welcome to nameberry!
I especially love [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. [name_f]Julia[/name_f] just isn’t seen enough, but it’s lovely and fits really well with her big brother.
[name_f]My[/name_f] only concern would be a possible ‘rhyme’ between [name_f]Julia[/name_f] and your last name (in the case that your surname has a similar rhythm). If you practice saying [name_f]Julia[/name_f] with your last name, does it sound singsong? If it doesn’t, I really don’t see any reason not to pick it!
Hi [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]! Thanks so much for your input!
Thank you so much for this comment; such a great idea to consider the rhythm with our last name! I do think there is a similar cadence but definitely nothing too matchy, and our last name is full of consonants and few vowels. This is a great question though and actually it has made me appreciate the softness and warmth that [name_f]Julia[/name_f] might bring to the overall name rhythm over [name_f]Claire[/name_f]! Thank you!
Julia [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is so lovely—it immediately grabbed my attention when I was scrolling the forum. I would love to meet a young [name_f]Julia[/name_f]!
I think they are both great!
Some random things to think about…
Obviously the flow/sound with your last name
Some (not very many I think) people pronounce [name_f]Julia[/name_f] with 3 syllables
[name_f]Julia[/name_f] could have the nickname [name_u]Jules[/name_u], or [name_u]Julie[/name_u]
Which monogram to you prefer the look of?
Which do you like better written out. Maybe in a fancy font or in cursive?
Edit: Apparently most people pronounce Julia with 3 syllables but some combine it into 2 like me 
Thank you for these comments! Excellent points made. I didn’t even think to consider monogram so definitely will look at that!
Julia [name_f]Claire[/name_f] gets my vote! It’s so undeniably classic, much like [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]. But I think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] works well with [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], too, so you have a great choice either way.
I prefer [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]! [name_f]Julia[/name_f] and [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] is a wonderful sibling set.
Prefer Claire overall and especially with a long surname that ends in a.
3 syllable first + 3 syllable last sounds like it could be a mouthful.
Good luck
Julia [name_f]Claire[/name_f] has a beautiful flow.
However I like the first name [name_f]Claire[/name_f] better.
I think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] needs a 3 syllable middle name.
Claire [name_f]Nicolette[/name_f]
Julia [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is light and lovely
Julia [name_f]Claire[/name_f] has a nicer flow to me and [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] & [name_f]Julia[/name_f] also go better, in my mind at least. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f], classic names!
Both names are great. I personally like the flow of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] better and agree with a pp that it would probably sound better with your three syllable surname. The way the full name looks and sounds is important, but most important is the first and last name. That is what will be used most often.
Though [name_f]Julia[/name_f] is a beautiful name, I really prefer [name_f]Claire[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Claire[/name_f] to [name_f]Julia[/name_f] but [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] to [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] just edges it out on this one, though you can’t go wrong with either name.
