I love this name. I see a kind, sophisticated, stylish, smart woman. I just feel like its so classy and it makes me feel all warm inside!! Despite my crush on this name I dont see myself using it :( I dont know why though. I guess I feel like its great for someone else but I couldnt commit to it.
Could you guys give me your thoughts? Your combos? Also any first names that have Claire in it? Example: Clairissa, Clara Also what about the alternate spelling of Clayre, Clare?

I like it. Growing up, Clair Huxtable was the epitomy of grace and intelligence, and made me believe I could have it all (kids, career, etc. Which I did accomplish, I am a lawyer as well, but only 2 kids to her 5. She made it look a lot easier than it is....lol). So, it's sort of sentimental to me. I realize that sounds a bit weird, but dude, I love me some Cosby. But yeah, I totally agree with your assessment of the name. I wouldn't use it either, though.

Clare is what I would use. Does Clairissa even exist? It looks improbable. I like Clara but I'd use Clare - only as a mn, though, because of the local accent where I live, which makes it sound unattractive.

I love the name Claire (but only spelled this way). I think it's very simply sophisticated. If you love it that much, you should use it =)

Claire is very pretty. Claire spelt any other way would loose any sophistication it has.My favorite Clair - name is Clarice.

Claire is nice :) It does sound sophisticated. The only thing you can't do with it is use it as a middle name with the first name Anna!
Spelled as Clare is just a good, spelled a Clayre makes me want to say it "klay-uh" and not "kl-air."Clarissa is prettier than Claire, but not as sophisticated.
Clara, for me, is like Buttercup and Clover; it is a cow's name.I also like:
Clarice
Clarita
and Clarisse (very French, that one ^_^)
