My husband and I love the name Claire. In fact today is my due date, but no baby yet, and the name we have picked out if it is a girl is Claire Nicole. Other middle names we considered: Claire Elise, Claire Alexis, and Claire Isabel. Elizabeth was too long to use with our last name. As you can see we prefer Claire to Clare because I think it is the more common and recognized spelling at least where we live, and I think it is a pretty spelling. As for the personality, I guess it is hard for me to stereotype or place a certain personlity with a name. (My name is Katie and I don't think that every Katie has a similar personality to mine.) I think that whatever personality our baby girl has will match the name Claire, because a name is just a name and the personality has already started developing. I imagine or hope that our little girl would have a sweet and caring personality and be intelligent and independent as she grows up. I think a Claire could be dark haired and dark eyed as ours may be or blond haired and blue eyed or anything other combination of looks and the name can be fitting. I do think the name Claire is a very cute name that will also sound very age appropriate through adulthood. I hope this helps you out some. Sorry I really don't feel like I was much help in the looks and personality; I'll let you know if we have a girl what our little Claire is like. Good luck with your decisions.
