Help[Opinions] Re: Clara
in reply to a message by Evangeline Rose
My great-grandmother was named Clara Edith, but for whatever reason, went by Edith.
She pronounced it CLAIR-uh so that's how I pronounce it too, but both pronunciations are legit. If you told me CLARR-uh, I wouldn't hesitate.
I think it is less boring than Clare and less trashy than Lara. It doesn't have nn or pet names really, except for Clare or Lara.
It's an "eh" name for me, best left as a mn.
