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.

Really? I don't know any other Natalie's besides mine...

My friend in IL's daughter, and I've run into at least 3 Natalies around here. Maybe its popularity is regional? It is a pretty name, I can understand why its gaining in use.
