Middle name for Claire?

Girl Names
1

We’re having a girl due next [name_f]May[/name_f]! She will be the younger sister to our son. His name is [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u], our last name is common, starts with B and ends with -nett.

We’ve 95% decided on [name_f]Claire[/name_f] for this little one but are having a hard time picking a middle name.

My husband’s initial favorite was [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Juliana[/name_f], but I personally think it’s too long and prefer a shorter 2 syllable name. Other contenders are [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] (husband’s new favorite) and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. Help!

[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is gorgeous - and flows better to your last name than [name_f]Marie[/name_f] does. I think the problem with [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] is that it’s not just long, it’s slow (in English). There might be long names out there that work but they need to be fast paced with your last name - eg [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] B****nett works better. But [name_f]Elise[/name_f] would be my top pick unless another trumps!

What about [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]? That is stunning, just an absolutely adorable combination. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] borders on being too rhyme-y for me, and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is pretty, but not as lovely as [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] in my opinion :wink: Congrats, though!

[name_f]EDIT[/name_f]: [name_m]Ah[/name_m], darn, I just realized [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] rhymes with your last name! [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Julia[/name_f] is pretty, too, as are [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Jewel[/name_f].
