I LOVE THE NAME CLARA KATHLEEN. CLARA IS MY GRANDMOTHER'S NAME AND KATHLEEN IS MY WONDERFUL MIL!! AT FIRST MY HUSBAND LIKED IT BUT NOW HE SAYS IT IS TO LONG AND IT SOUND OLD FASHIONED. HE LIKES THE NAME MAKENNA LYN WHICH HAS NO MEANING TO ME!! OUR LAST NAME IS BRADY. WHAT DO YOU THINK!!??

I'm with hubby - Clara is way too old-fashioned in my opinion. I can see where you'd like to honor your grandmother, but you can't force it if your hubby doesn't like the name. claire, while also very classic and traditional, could be a better alternative. I'm not sure how I feel about either of them with Kathleen though, with both starting with the same sound.

since the Kathleen is HIS mother, if he isn't concerned about using this, maybe you could go with Makenna Claire. I think that sounds good together.

good luck.
