I am having the hardest time coming up with a name that both my husband and I like. I have a three year old named [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. We call her [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] and love her name. I am expecting a little girl in early [name_f]April[/name_f].
I am considering [name_f]Clara[/name_f] or [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] but find them to be very popular names. Any ideas or thoughts?

Congratulations!
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] is a lovely name. One of my closest friends is a [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] (called [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]) and her sisters are [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].

All beautiful, GL
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] (or lyn) is lovely.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is too - I don’t know any Claras, though I know 5 million Madelines and Maddies.
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f], [name_f]Clarion[/name_f], [name_f]Clary[/name_f], [name_f]Clarinda[/name_f], [name_f]Claret[/name_f] are all favorites of mine, as are [name_f]Esclarmonde[/name_f] and [name_f]Clarimond[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Madelief[/name_f], [name_f]Maida[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], [name_f]Meg[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] too.
I love [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] so much! Go with that!
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] barely broke the top 100 in 2016. As did [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] at a 91 ranking. Which accounts for a fraction of a percentage of all girls born… She will likely be the only one in her class, but even if she has to share and be [name_f]Clara[/name_f] K. or whatever… They’re both awesome respectable names.
