    I like Clara best, maybe because it was my Nana's name (great Grandmother). A very sweet, special lady. But it is also "classic" and feminine.

    Josephine is too many sylables for my taste, and I don't like the nicknames that will show up. (my personal preference)

    Natalie, I like, I just like Clara best. Clara is also not over used like some names are.

    What are you boy names (or name?)
    Yeah, Clara and Josephine both are classic names, and we didn't find either of them in the "top 100" names in the past few years. Which isn't necessarily the deciding factor, but it's kinda cool that it's not too trendy.

    I love the nicknames that will show up for Jospehine, actually (Jo, Joey, etc). And, it's part of why we love Elizabeth, too (besides the fact that it's both our mother's names). I like giving a person options for later in life. Whatever they personally prefer. Natalie has cute shorter versions, too (Nat, Natty...my friend called her neighbor Nat Nat). Clara is the only one I can't think of a nickname for.

    We don't really have any options for boys, yet, but when we do, you guys will more than likely hear them.

    I never thought of it that way. I actually prefer names that can't be changed into nicknames easily.

    I'm with Jen here. I know kids like nicknames though.

    I like your first and third choices, Clara and/or Natalie.

    I vote Clara Elizabeth! I like the way it sounds. Plus, it will be a name that teachers cannot mess up too much. My daughter's name is Rachael Elizabeth. From kindergarten on all of her teachers spelled it the wrong way...Rachel...and I was constantly correcting them. She is in college now and people still mess it up! Obviously I love the name Elizabeth too. I hope you have a beautiful and healthy baby. Good luck!

    My niece's middle name is Claire, for her great-grandmother. I'd vote for either Clara or Natalie.

    I like the name Clara Elizabeth. Did you know a woman named Clara Barton founded both the American Red Cross, and many public schools in the US?

    I like Clara E. too. It's a lovely name, and not too common. There's an awful lot of "Natalie"s these days. Josephine was my MIL's name, pretty, but I find it a little too old-fashioned.

    It could be that my name has no nickname options, and if you're Jennifer, you probably get all kinds of nicknames! Who knows, though, why we like what we like? I gave up trying to figure that out a long time ago!

    I am also one that prefers names that cannot be nick names, but kids always find one no matter what lol, i guess that is why i like carole, no-one has ever called me anything else, except one guy at work who chose to call me Kaz, i have no idea why and i liked that, it is the start of my email address now.

    My daughters friends call her Missa, she is Melissa,it has kinda stuck with us as well, although i rather have her real name used, it grows on one lol.

    Yes, even if you choose a name that can't have nicknames, kids will still make things up. Like rhyming names. Cindy Bindy or Carol Barrel (sorry Carole).
    I went to school with a boy named Mark and people always said Mark and Cindy - like Mork and Mindy the old sitcom in the 80's.
    Kids will be kids.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Well for the sake of the thread, I'm mostly referring to nicknames that are shortened versions of the name itself, not just pet names or playful ones. I have had a few of my own, Karebear being one of them. Half pint, Cheerful, Sunshine, those are names kids called me in school. But, yeah, as long as they're not mean spirited, I like those kinds of deviations.
