Tips For Choosing A Middle Name For Claire
The name Claire has 1 syllable, which means that it pairs well with longer middle names, although that’s not to say it doesn’t work with some shorter names too.
Here are a few tips to help you make your decision:
- If it’s important to you or your family, you may wish to consider honoring a name that is already in the family, such as a mother, sister, aunt or grandmother.
- The naming process naturally takes time, so don’t feel as though you have to rush the process and get it over with quickly.
- A great way to start is by compiling a shortlist of all the names you like that go with Claire.
- Next, either alone or with the help of your partner, begin eliminating names based on whether there are others on the list that you both prefer (i.e. narrow down to only your absolute favorites).
- Say Claire and the potential middle name (and perhaps surname) out loud to get a feel for how they all sound together.
- Have a quick check to ensure the initials of the names don’t spell anything rude!
- If you feel like you are not making progress, try taking a break for a few days and then revisit again once your mind is hopefully more fresh.
