"My Middle name is Clare and I love it. Many think it should be spelled Claire, but without the "I" the "a" still makes the same sound. Plus Saint Clare of Assisi spells her name this way. It is a very easy name to pronounce and pronounce right in the first place. Many people do not have this name. It means clear, bright, and intelligent. I love my middle name, the way it is spelled, the meaning, everything. If you have this name be proud of being part of the "Clare Clan."" Mar. 5, 2014:
"I too am a Clare, from Ireland, and enjoy that ours is the non-anglicized, version (Although if people mispel it, I prefer they go the French way 'Clair'. I was named after St Clare of Assisi, who was Francis of Assisi's first follower and most loyal friend, and was ther first female saint who wrote the rules for an order, so that's a nice saint to be allied with."
