Tell me your thoughts and favs! I have pros and cons for all…
Clara- lovely. Traditional. Easy to pronounce. Buut we know a few Clares so it kind of looses its appeal.
Callia- lovely. Little different but not really. Buut potential pronunciation problems. Example cah-leah. CAlli- ah. And which pronunciation do you prefer? I like cah lee a, hubby like cal Lee a.
Caprice- edgier. Fresh. Dont know anyone with a name even close. Buut…too out there? Sibs are a bit more traditional.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - sweet, simple, familiar. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is prettier than Clare/Claire but I see what you mean about the lost appeal. It is a different name though so try not to be too put off by the similar names?
Perhaps you may like [name_f]Clarice[/name_f]? (cluh-reece or clar-iss)
[name_f]Callia[/name_f] - my favourite of your options after [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. Beautiful name. Familiar yet not too different or out there. I think if she’s introduced with the correct pronunciation there won’t be much of an issue there. Most people are respectful of how to say someone’s name.
[name_f]Caprice[/name_f] - there’s something about this name that I can’t get into. I’m not sure what it is. It does feel a bit too bulky for a girl too.
What are the siblings names? might be easier to match a name that way.
I definitely like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] the best,but [name_f]Callia[/name_f] is very cute too, I‘m personally not a big fan of [name_f]Caprice[/name_f] through reminds me of Capri-Sun
I like your names. [name_f]Caprice[/name_f] is really interesting. It sounds crisp and fresh. You could even go [name_f]Capricia[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f], very classic choice. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s closely related to [name_f]Claire[/name_f] it stands well on its own. I don’t think you should worry about the Claires. [name_f]Callia[/name_f] is lovely too. I would pronounce it Call-ee-ah. Out of these names I think [name_f]Callia[/name_f] is my favourite.
I love [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and think it would go really well with her siblings. I find a very different name from Claire/Clare so I don’t think it will feel boring to your community.
I prefer the cal-LEE-ah pronunciation for [name_f]Callia[/name_f] and think it’s lovely but not as suited to siblings as [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
I find [name_f]Caprice[/name_f] fresh too and think it could really work on the right little girl, but would stand out with the other siblings.
Some other C names you might like:
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_u]Cadence[/name_u]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - I prefer the Clar-uh pronunciation over the Claire-uh, not sure which one you are going for
[name_f]Callia[/name_f] - my second favorite of your choices, i would pronounce it Cah-leah. [name_f]Callie[/name_f] or [name_f]Calla[/name_f] could be alternatives if you wanted
[name_f]Caprice[/name_f] - it is a little bit more of an out there choice then your other options, but pretty. Would you pronounce it Cah-preece or [name_f]Capri[/name_f]? I’m assuming the former but wanted to ask
I don’t think Caprice is too out there but the meaning of the word is a little bit of a turn off and I do initially think of the Chevrolet Caprice, so there’s that.
With Callia, I prefer the same pronunciation as you, it just makes more sense to me when looking at the name. (Like Lilia is lih-LEE-ah, it’s LIL-ia, Dahlia isn’t dah-LEE-ah, it’s DAHL-ia, etc.)
Whichever you go with, it’ll be best if you can both settle on one pronunciation and roll it out as a united front. There’s also Calla, which lends itself to your preference of the emphasis being on Cal.
Honestly having multiple Clares/Claires in my social circle would be enough for me to rule Clara out as a first name option, though it does “go” stylistically the most with your other names.
These are lovely names! With the siblings, I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] goes best! I like [name_f]Callia[/name_f] a lot but I prefer [name_f]Calla[/name_f]- it’s just a bit more legible IMO!
