Claire w/a "K"

What do you think of speling Claire with a K . For some reason I just don't care for the letter "C" ... eventhough our last name begins with a "C". Would it sound better w/ the "C" since this is the case. My SIL says a first and last name that begins with the sound of the same letter is "too much" ???? Have you even know a "K" used for Klaire?

It looks so wrong to me. The trend of swapping K for C to make a name more "unique" is one of my biggest naming peeves. Sorry!

Since you say you want a simple response...I don't like it.

I like Claire best.

Klara or maybe Klare seem ok like the previous posts suggested. They feel like separate names from Claire, so the K doesn't bother me. Klaire looks misspelled.

Why did you ask if you didn't want opinions? Ick maybe a little bit strong but like she said, she was limited in puter time. It sums it up in a second.

By the way, please don't do the K. Only for the simple fact, nobody will ever spell it right and like previous posters said, she will always have to say Klare with a K.

But it sounds as if you just wanted people to tell you it looks beatiful. Sorry, it doesn't.

I'm afraid I agree with everyone... Claire is is spelled - Claire. Klaire looks made up for the sake of being like all the other made up names of late - though that doesn't seem to be your intention, just stating the facts.

You didn't mention what you think of Klara or other 'K' names. If you really hate C's then maybe we could help you think of some good K names instead.

I always have to state Kara with a "K" and it's not that big of a deal. I believe there are plenty of names out there with multiple spellings that no matter what, somebody is going to get it wrong. If you really want a "K" I say go for it. Klare is actually number one on my girls list and I do have to say you are the first to agree. So it is nice to know that there is somebody else out there! Good luck!

I'm not too crazy about it spelled that way, sorry... though who knows, maybe it would grow on me...

I think it would be fine to spell it with a K. I do prefer Klare to Klair. Klarissa with a K is german so it does seem to have a background. I believe that if you are not phoenetically changin gthe name it is alright. I am a teacher and have seen it all, including names that don't look at all how they are spelled. I would know Klair right away.
