Help[Opinions] Re: Louise vs. Clara
in reply to a message by Billina
Clara for sure.
Clara is harsh and brassy, but it's classic, antique enough to not be dowdy anymore, and feminine in a strong way. I mentally have it in a category with names like Helen, Martha, and Dorothy.
Louise seems more mediocre. Like a name that was trendy in its time, rather than feeling like a classic. It goes with names like Shirley, Rita, Thelma in my mind. And sounds ugly to my ears, luWEEZ. Louisa's better, more classicky to me and less ugly - but not better than Clara, because WEE.
