HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD MIDDLE NAME FOR CLARA

Here are some important factors to consider when picking a good middle name to go with Clara.

The flow of the middle name with the first and last names is very important.

Some people say a short first name like Clara should be paired with a longer, more syllabic middle name for a better flow.

But you know what? I don’t agree! I think Clara goes beautifully with short middle names. You’ve got Clara May, Clara Jane, Clara Rose, Clara Grace, Clara Joy, Clara Rae.

So, don’t box yourself in, there are no rules!

Say the names out loud

Do you like the sound of the names not just how good they look on paper?

Consider a meaningful middle name

Instead of a filler name, use a name that holds some significance to you and your partner.

This could be the name of a place – town, city, where you first met (if appropriate) or where you shared your first kiss.

Make Clara’s middle name special!

What do the initials spell?

You wouldn’t want any hurtful initials.

On the other hand, this study shows that positive name initials lead to a longer life. So, you may consider giving your baby a positive acronym.

Remember, you might get monogrammed baby gifts as well.

Don’t be in a rush

The perfect middle name for your Clara will come to you. It might take a while but it will.

WHY HAVE A MIDDLE NAME FOR CLARA?

If you are wondering if it is necessary to give your baby girl a middle name. Let me tell you why I think it is.

I’ll give you 3 major reasons why it’s a good idea to give Clara a middle name.

#1. The Power of the FULL NAME

You will be familiar with the full name power play. You know, the one your parents used when you were being naughty.

Calling both your first and middle names to scold you?

It’s not just a parent hack, you know. Recent research proves that calling your child by their full names- First, middle and last names makes your child less indulgent and helps them to develop good behaviour.

Amazing, right!

#2. A way to HONOUR FAMILY members

Giving your baby a middle name can be a sweet way to honour family members, especially extended family that passed recently or ones you are/were particularly fond of.

#3. You’re giving your child OPTIONS

We all want our kids to love the names we give them. Realistically, this won’t always be the case.

And that’s okay.

By giving your child a middle name, you are giving them options for the future.

In that case, your child has the option of using their middle name as their first name.

Just like the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. Her first name is Rachel but she goes by her middle name, Meghan.

FINALLY…
