Help[Opinions] Re: Claire
in reply to a message by Perrine
Clare, rather than Claire; but I'm not in a region where French is spoken. I like Clara with the German pronunciation; I find it alarmingly comical when Americans rhyme it with Sarah. Clare, Claire and Clara have never been really well used in South Africa.
I'm not sure if you are thinking about a possible combo or a possible sibset: either way, I'd use Elinor (or Eleanor) and/or Annabel.

I would amuse you then. I do rhyme Clara and Sara. Same goes for Cara. Typically I lean towards British and European pronunciations. But these names are the exception to that rule. I've never cared for the pronunciation you favor. Can't even put my finger on why that is. It just sounds less attractive to my American ears, I guess.
