[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is just perfect, [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is a close second, I think they both are timeless names. I am not a fan of [name_f]Emily[/name_f].

I picked [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] because I love the name [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I also think [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is very pretty.

1 [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
2 [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
3 [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

I’m not a fan of the alliteration of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f].

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] would be my picks. [name_f]Emily[/name_f] fits your requirements, but there are just sooooooo many [name_f]Emily[/name_f]'s.

I think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is the most timeless.

[name_f]Emily[/name_f] is beautiful, but I think because of it’s recent popularity it will likely be linked to this decade.

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] by far. You say you aren’t concerned about popularity, but popularity does and datedness go hand in hand. A name that is significantly popular now will seem dated in a decade. [name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] are very attached to late 90s/early 2000s. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] will last further.

I agree that [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is somewhat dated to recent times but if you look at the history of the name it has always been somewhat popular and that’s why we’re not afraid to use it. I believe it will still be in the top 200 for a long time to come compared to some names that were huge 20 years ago are long gone and barely in the top 1000. Anyhow, we definitely appreciate all of your input!

I think [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] are lovely! I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] better as a combo, but I feel like I’d be more likely to use [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], since I love the nns [name_f]Emmy[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], and [name_f]Millie[/name_f], and I can actually see me having an [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]/[name_f]Emma[/name_f], as opposed to a [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. They’re all lovely, though!

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]!

[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. Beautiful and feminine.

[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is my favorite by far! I think the alliteration is good in this case. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] as a first name? I like [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] as well.

[name_f]My[/name_f] problem with [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] (which is otherwise lovely) is that when I say it out loud, it sounds like “Stell Eclaire.”

I agree with [name_u]Mischa[/name_u] and dislike the alliteration of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]. So I would say [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]? I just like it as a first name more than I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f].

Surprisingly, [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is leading the voting. It so hard when you like them all and that’s why we appreciate your honest opinion!

Any other voters? :slight_smile:

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] {and} [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is perfect :).

Loving [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I voted for [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]. It feels classy, feminine and timeless.

We’re a little over a month away and it’s starting to look like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]! Although we still have time to change our minds. :slight_smile:

It looks like [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] won by a small margin. We now have a problem with [name_f]Stella[/name_f] though…the more we think about using it the more “stale” it becomes. It seems for us that it’s one of those names you grow to like but then you can grow tired of it.

I see the two [name_f]Emily[/name_f] names were close to each other but with a lot fewer votes than [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. Is that because you are tired of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] or just don’t like it?

Right now my wife says to go with [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and for me to pick. Oh the stress!

[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]–> I like alliteration and both names are lovely. I voted for this.
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]–>It has the best flow but I have always found [name_f]Claire[/name_f] a bit dull.
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]–>The two names flow into each other too much.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]–> I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Stella[/name_f] but [name_f]Claire[/name_f] doesn’t fit.
