Clare and
Theresa are both fairly popular saints, or at least they used to be. The spelling of
Clare (as opposed to
Claire) in pretty strongly tried to the order of Poor Clares. I've got a ton of French ancestors with
Therese in their names, for the saint!
Thomas John,
Peter James,
Dominic Paul,
Anne,
Joan,
Martin... All saints. I think
Gisele might be too, but I'm not sure. There's a lot of overlap between "classic" and Catholic.
