We had picked
Claire for a girl, so of course I love it. To me this spelling is much better than
Clare, which seems masculine.
Clara is pretty too, but a little old-fashioned.
I love how
Claire means "clear," and toyed with something like
Stella (star) or
Celeste (celestial or sky) to complete the theme. Couldn't come up with a combo that worked, though, so settled on
Claire Elizabeth or
Claire Marie.
