I don't think of a cow at all, I think it's a lovely name! And I much prefer Claire over Clair, probably because in France if you stick an E on the end of most words, it becomes feminine

I had to comment, as OH & I have picked Claire Elise as our LO's name. Pretty dang close! lol I love Claire with the E, not so much without. Could be the french thing someone else pointed out though as I did take 4 years of French language classes. lol

I am in the US, and I have heard of Elsie the cow, but that did not pop into my head at all until you mentioned it. I do think that it will only be the older generation that does that, as it was a very popular milk advertising character a very long time ago.

Wow, that is close! I think it's lovely

I like Claire with the 'e' too, the only reason we'd consider it without is because Clair is a family name on OH's side. But I think we will probably end up going with the 'e.'
