[Opinions] Re: Clay/Clae
in reply to a message by Julie
Clay for a boy is okay, but I've always really really liked Clae for a girl, after reading a book with a character named that.

You must have read that Janette Oke book. That is where I found the name, and the reason I like it, too!

Yup, that's where I heard it! I don't know if you saw my post below about how when I was in Jr. High I "made up" the name Cleia (prn like Clea), but it was because of this name. I was trying to help a friend come up with something different for a book she was trying to write, and I said that I was reading a book with a girl named Clae in it, so we thought awhile and said "hmm, Clae, Clay-uh, how might we spell that?" then took it one step further and said "Clay-uh, Clee-uh" and came up with Cleia! I still like Clae better, but my friend ended up naming her daughter Cleia 8 years later.
