Re: Claire
It's a pronunciation issue for me.I say KLAHra, but I believe Americans rhyme Clara with Sarah. I like Clara, but it doesn't sound very English to me.As for Claire, I don't see the point of using a French spelling if the pronunciation is going to be English. I love Clare and would use it, but Claire looks, not just unEnglish but over-ornate.

I can't bring myself to utter KLAHra, just don't have the voice/accent for it. I like Clare well enough, but really love Claire, that's the one I'd use.
