[name]Elise[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] were definitely a tie–both have the same feel to them as [name]Claire[/name]. I ended up going with [name]Eliza[/name]; it has more spunk than [name]Elise[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Elise[/name] tied for me. [name]Both[/name] have the same soft, sweet, yet spunky feel that [name]Claire[/name] has. I’m leaning more towards [name]Elise[/name] at the moment.
I chose [name]Jane[/name] because it’s so simple and beautiful, just like [name]Claire[/name]. I was cautious of the [name]Sophia[/name]/[name]Sophie[/name] because of the popularity, but if that is genuinely your favorite, I wouldn’t hesitate!
My second favorite was probably [name]Zoe[/name], but I love [name]Eliza[/name] as well! Your list is great
I love [name]Eliza[/name] for [name]Claire[/name]'s sister so that got my vote. I do love [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Jane[/name] but just a little too blah maybe.
I like [name]Julia[/name] and [name]Sophie[/name]! I voted for [name]Julia[/name] because it is less common, but [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Sophie[/name] go well together because they are both french names with a pretty meaning.
My, I’m having such a hard time! There are a lot of differing opinions here. While I love [name]Elise[/name], it does kind of seem expected with [name]Claire[/name]. On the other hand, [name]Elise[/name] is often used in the middle spot, [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elise[/name], as well as a middle for other names, so it seems fresh to use [name]Elise[/name] as a first. I do think [name]Jane[/name] would be an unexpected, yet well-fitting choice. [name]Kate[/name] I think has some spunk and some class, which I feel [name]Claire[/name] does, but it is a little matchy with the same starting sound. That doesn’t usually bother me though. Hmmm, so many choices! Thanks for the input everyone!
I like [name]Elise[/name], but I do agree that [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Elise[/name] would be expected together. I voted for [name]Eliza[/name] because it has the same feel but is less expected and more fun. Personally, I think that [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Kate[/name] would fall by the wayside with a sister [name]Claire[/name]- they’re just not as interesting to me.
