[Opinions] Re: Claire or Rachel
I definitely prefer Rachel. My problem with Claire is that where I live, Clare (the English form) is pronounced KLAYR, with an "ay" sound like in Tate or Lane. In most places (England and the States, at least) it'd be KLER. People here just pronoune Claire KLAYR as well, but I'm pernickity and know that they should be different. It's always got to me. So, to cut a long story short, I only like the Clare form :-/_____________________________________________________________________"[David Gest] looks like he's had a lot of plastic surgery done, but not by a plastic surgeon."Elinor
