[Claire]

EH, we know several young Audras....your name will live ON!!!

My name.....no big surprise here.

First peak for Claire was in the 1920's......ranked 158th then, the lowest valley? When I was born in the 1970s. It was ranked 462 the year I was born.....thanks, Mom! What mortified me growing up (Oh, to be named Jennifer or Sarah!) has now turned into a blessing....never have to say my last name when I call people.....and I'm pretty much the only Claire that anyone knows at my age.

BUT......it was off the charts skyrocketing in 2003, and ranked 140 in the 90's and is getting more popular. In Chloe's preschool alone, there are THREE Claires!!! I hate it!! One little girl has the same last name as me....except off by one letter. Very confusing. I hear parents yelling at Claires all over town....and I never fail to turn my head. Ugh!! How did all those Sarahs and Jennifers deal with it!!! Ack!
