Clare is the best least common. I’m a Clare and others in my work place are Claire. It is so annoying when people spell my name with an i.

I prefer Claire bu I think u should go with the family spelling

Claire.

Clare.

Claire, you will have to spend the rest of your life explaining it's clare without an I

+1. We are always asked how to spell it. Oddly enough, she has several friends named Clare. Go with whatever you like!

It's funny, after my daughter, Claire, was born, the Irish relatives asked if we spelled it with the "i" or without. I hadn't even considered "Clare" but think it's lovely too!

Clare!

Claire

Go with Clare. I have the Irish spelling of Carrie (Kerry) and it's really not a big deal to spell it out or deal with it when people use a different spelling.

Personally, I like Clara best of all.

In 2012, Claire was #45, Clare was #727, and Clara was #136.

I prefer Claire because Clare just looks unfinished to me, although I recognize it is another correct spelling. I think it would be nice to go with the family spelling too. I think I'd just go with whichever one you like better.

The only Clare I know is an old man.

I think you should use the more common spelling.
