We have recently begun to really love the name [name_f]Claire[/name_f] for our baby due in the new year. I’d love insight on the two following questions, if you’d be so obliged.
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] is my middle name, but I hate the spelling my parents chose (Clair). It has always felt horridly incomplete to me, and google has informed me its the masculine version of the name.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you feel it is odd of me to give her my name, but change the spelling?
Which of the following combinations is your favourite? Last name is long, but only two syllables and starts with a B.
No I don’t think it’s strange at all to change the spelling! It’s a sweet way to connect mother and daughter
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites from your list are [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], & [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Loretta[/name_f], and [name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] are absolutely tied for me!
I am [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] btw
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] certainly gets my vote. I don’t think changing the spelling is weird and I love that you are passing your name down ! So sweet and sentimental that she will always get to carry a piece of you in her name
I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f].
If you do go with [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] the initials do spell CAB which isn’t a bad thing if you truly love the name.
I really like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]! [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is a sparky, underused name. Definitely super pretty and stands out.
I’m not fond of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Loretta[/name_f] - the two syllables run into each other with the l and r sounds repeated in “laire Lor”.
No, not strange at all if you are just adding an E. If you did something like [name_f]Klare[/name_f], that would be weird.
I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Adaline[/name_f] best. Maybe [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] second but only because [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] amd [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] are so popular, not that there is anything wrong with that. I dont really feel like [name_f]Loretta[/name_f] goes with the soft and delicatness of [name_f]Claire[/name_f], imo.
I think it’s a sweet way to connect mother and daughter!
I think of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] as a very classic name, so I would pair with something maybe a bit more ‘fun’ or unusual.
I really like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] from your list! It seems like you like a -ine ending for the middle name, and I think [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] sounds the nicest with [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. You could even call her [name_f]Delphi[/name_f] as a nn!
This is very funny because I would love to name my future daughter [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] Posie… LOVE [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
