Clara- Elegant and vintage, it's no wonder parents love Clara. At #131, is it possible she could crack the top 100?
Clarabella- She may seem like a smoosh name, but Clarabella has real Latin roots. She's quite a mouthful, though. If you must, choose Clarabelle.
Clarabelle- Slightly more subdued than Clarabella. For a slimmed-down version, try Claribel.
Claremont- My first thought is college--but as a high school senior, I have higher education on the brain. I like her sound, and I think she works.
Clarice- My association with this name is Clarice Bean, a funny childrens book series by Lauren Child. Clarice may be a little outdated, but she still fits in on the playground.
Clarinda- I know most of you will hate it, but I think Clarinda is pretty charming! I've explained my love of Lucinda before, I think -inda names are due for a comeback.
Clarion- Clarion is definitely the most contemporary name on this list. I think she's lovely.
Clarissa- Maybe it's her similarity to Melissa, or the '90s TV show Clarissa Explains it All, but I cannot picture her on a baby born in 2015.
Clarity- Clarity is a unique virtue name with an updated sound. Much better than Chastity.
Clary- She's a nickname, but I think Clary would also work well on her own. Maybe as a sister to Sadie?
Eclair- Does Eclair work as a name? She should work in theory--it's only one extra syllable to the name Claire--but she still seems a little off.
Montclair- Switch around Claremont, and you've got Montclair. I could see this one working on a boy.
Sinclair- Another Claire name that swings masculine is Sinclair. He has a sauve, old-timey feel that I love.
