Pretty. I would prefer Siena Clare, but that's a pretty minor tweak.

It's not bad. I'm glad to see Claire used, even as a middle name. Sienna isn't really my thing though. It goes well with Nathan.

I don't like Sienna, much. I guess it's better than Sierra, but it's really not my kind of name. It just floats by without grabbing your attention. Bleh.Claire is nice, especially as a middle name. That lifts the combo, a little.I love Nathan, and probably always will. One of my favorite boy names.

I really like the combo. It's cute.

I love it! Very pretty. Not sure how well it goes with Nathan, though...I mean, Nathan is a lot more well-known, at least for me.

If I say it quickly it sounds like 'see an eclair'. Tasty!
John and Eve are much more my thing, but it's a decent name, not unattractive.

I like it. It's pretty, and doesn't make much of itself.
I think I'd rather not have a name like Sienna myself, but I think it's nice on other people.

I think it sounds conventionally pretty; there's also something really calm seeming about it that I like.But Sienna is not one of my favorite color names, because when I see it, I don't think "brown" or "orange red"; I think "tube of paint, expensive", "Sienna Miller", and "the Seine". It reminds me of stories I heard about Catherine of Siena, mainly that she practiced self-flagellation and fasted excessively. I'd group it with names like: Sierra, Savannah, Sydney, Cinna, Jenna, Cheyenne, Liana, Keira, Vienna, India, Willow, Ember, Scarlett.I like Claire, but it seems perfunctory in the middle. I would have liked Claire Sienna more.And, randomly, this happened in my head: Sienna -> burnt sienna -> burnt umber + "dad John" -> Jon Umber from A Song of Ice and Fire

Not a big fan of Sienna. It’s too modern for my tastes and will be very dated someday. It’s still not bad.Congrats to them!

Hi !!!Congrats ti this family !!!!Sienna Claire is a lovely combo. It is modern without being trendy or boring.I agree with the previous post: It is a colourful, lively name. John and Eve are boring imo.
Nathan is ok but I prefer Nathaniel or Natanael.

I like it. It makes for a colourful, painter-y name. Claire is a but overused as a mn, I would prefer Clare.
