C028448:

I’m now 2 weeks or less away from baby arriving. Everyone has been sooooo helpful on nameberry. THANK YOU!!! Everytime I try to call my baby girl a name other than [name]Claire[/name], it just doesn’t feel right… though I did get very close with the name [name]Lucy[/name] But gut instinct always brings my husband and I back to [name]Claire[/name] for this child.

So here’s my dilemma… my husband and I both love [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] (and was the clear winner among all of you in an earlier poll I posted). BUT, our last name is [name]Anderson[/name], and for as many [name]Anderson[/name]'s as there are out there, there’s got to be a TON of [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] Andersons!

SO IS THERE A MN THAT WE’LL [name]LOVE[/name] AS MUCH AS THE [name]WAY[/name] [name]CLAIRE[/name] [name]ELIZABETH[/name] SOUNDS TO US? Yet one that will give our little girl a bit more uniqueness than having a 3 name combo in which chances are several other girls have as well? As it stands, [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] will be on her birth certificate in a few weeks… but wanted to give this one more shot since so many of you have such great fn/mn suggestions!

Not a neccesity, but mn’s that are of Biblical origin or have Biblical meaning would be a bonus. Open to other suggestions, though!

Obviously I have a very classic naming style, so it’s quite a challenge to find any uniqueness around classics! [name]Hence[/name] what makes them classics… but worth a try!

Thanks,

[name]Sara[/name]

[name]Claire[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Anderson[/name]

thank you

Thank you [name]Susan[/name]! [name]Eliza[/name] was the other mn I polled, alongside of [name]Elizabeth[/name]. [name]Do[/name] love [name]Eliza[/name]. Many felt it was somewhat incomplete, and a part of me agrees that a 3 syllable mn sounds better with [name]Claire[/name]. But love the uniqueness of [name]Eliza[/name].

[name]How[/name] about:

or
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Jordan[/name] [name]Anderson[/name]

I was trying to keep in mind that you liked Biblical names but also something less common.

[name]Claire[/name] is on our list and we are thinking of [name]Claire[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]. I actually love [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] and think its the perfect name but I need a B middle name to honor my [name]MIL[/name] who passed last year. Good luck!

I think that [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Anderson[/name] sounds so nice. If you really like that name, have you considered perhaps just changing the spelling of [name]Elizabeth[/name], or using a variation? I would suggest:

[name]Claire[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Elisabetta[/name]

system · January 27, 2010, 9:57am

Thanks for all of the great suggestions! Thought I’d do a quick poll on some of my favorites that you all suggested. Please pick your two favorites. Also, not to throw anyone off, but I put [name]Claire[/name] as mn on last choice, b/c liked sound of [name]Eleanor[/name] as fn, too.

system · January 27, 2010, 11:45am

Didn’t know about this silent film actress… really like [name]Eleanora[/name] from your options. Always been a huge fan of the name [name]Eleanor[/name], but have a 7 yr old second cousin on my husband’s side with this name, so sadly a part of me feels like this name’s off limits as a first name. But maybe mn? Also love [name]Nora[/name], but we do have a [name]Noah[/name] already… hence why this name had a hard time making the cut for 1st name. [name]Love[/name] how [name]Eleanora[/name] combines both!

I’m glad you like [name]Claire[/name] [name]Eleanora[/name] [name]Anderson[/name] - I think it is unique and distinctive, and that is really cute how it combines [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Nora[/name]. Is it in consideration?

Honestly, though, my favorite was [name]Claire[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Anderson[/name] - [name]Claire[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] just sounds pretty to me!
