Claire is very interesting to me as a girls' name in the USA which has consistently been much more popular with college-educated parents than working class parents for decades now. It's really one of the most "class-marked" names in American society. From its usage pattern it's easy to see Claire playing tennis at a country club. :)
Dated and drab. I also know an awful Claire, which really puts me off.
I like it! Growing up I wasn’t a huge fan of it (it came across as a “mean girl in a movie” kind of name) but over time I’ve really grown to like it. It’s got a very crisp sound to it, and isn’t overused. Very classy sounding.
Nice
I really like it a lot.
I actually know a girl named Claire and another named Klaire.

It's timeless and goes with nearly everything, similar to Anne and Marie, stands out more as a first name than as a middle name.
