We are a bicultural family and are looking for a name that works well in both Spanish and English.
SO & I love the name [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. We prefer the Spanish pronunciation: Clah-rah.
However, our last name begins with C, ends with R, and rhymes with Harder (two syllables too)…does it sound like a mouthful?
Thanks!
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] Harder is indeed a mouthful, especially for a child.
I think it’s fine. They are pretty easy sounds to say so I don’t have a problem with it.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] ‘Carder’ isn’t ideal, but I also don’t think it should rule out [name_f]Clara[/name_f] for you.
You could consider [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Lara[/name_f] instead?
Sorry but it does.
I think it would be difficult to pronounce. What about [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], or the suggestion above of [name_f]Lara[/name_f]? I think these would all work better.
Not a deal breaker, imo. Go with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] if you do love it.
What about [name_f]Kara[/name_f] or [name_f]Cara[/name_f] or [name_f]Klara[/name_f]
I think it depends on how you pronounce [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. If you pronounce it Clar–ah it will be too much. If you pronounce it clair-uh i think it would be ok.
I think it works fine
Honestly it’s way too much of a mouthful for me.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] “Harder” is clunky.
It’s a little matchy-matchy but sometimes those are the names you remember most 
Yeah its a little bit of a mouthful. I have a minor lisp and I struggled saying it aloud.
