And now for my middle name! (bc why not lol)
1) Funnily enough, there's exactly ONE song with my middle name, Clare, in the title, by a group called Fairground Attraction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5CHT37KdmY - I really like it! It's folky and toe-tap-worthy. I don't usually go for folk songs, but this is an exception. There are my Clare titles, but those refer to the Irish county, so I didn't count them. As for the much more common Claire, there's: (I ranked them from favorite to least favorite)
Claire - Jimmy Eat World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VruCvJcphsk
Claire - The Push Stars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoHDWld38Ps
Claire's Ninth - Ben Folds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Sjm4aGcSU
Claire - Rheostatics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGFw587OAXk2) Absolutely zilch with my spelling, but I've met or heard of at least six Claire's.3) Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show, Claire Kyle on My Wife and Kids, and Claire on Happy Together (which was produced by Harry Styles and only lasted one season [rip]), but none exactly named Clare. There was also a baby Claire in a book I read once. Oh, and Claire Crosby! But yeah, none with my spelling. Clare is quite rare, as you can probably already tell lol, but Claire is a lot more familiar.4) County Clare, Ireland and St. Clare of Assisi (and therefore the Poor Clare's); for Claire, there's the female accessory store Claire's and Claire Danes.5) Clare was #795 in 1986, but Claire came in way higher - #198.~~~~~Rate my PNLs!

Do you know 'Clair' by Gilbert O'Sullivan? Used to be just a cute little tribute to a kiddie he babysat, but once the public became sensitised to pedophilia, people started seeing it everywhere, and the lyrics started looking unacceptable. Which I don't think they are, but I don't think it'll get much airtime any more.
