Our daughter Claire arrived on July 7th! We are both healthy and at home. Just a little story about her name: It came to me in 2006 when I was reading a new chapter of a fic that was being posted here on the boards at that time. Here's the money quote: "Are those your real names? They're just so TV-ready! Lois Lane,
all those soft alliterative syllables. It's very sexy, isn't it?
Lovely, lissome Lois Lane. And Clark, you have those sticky
consonants. Makes a name stand out. Clark Kent. Very strong."
Ken struck a pose like a bodybuilder. "Never fear, Clark Kent is
here!" Our last name also starts with a K and contains a high percentage of consonants, and when I read that, "CLAIRE" suddenly popped in my head as a female name that sounded somewhat like Clark. I loved it for both the fannish reason and because it was simple and classic, and so it has been my daughter's name since approximately three years before she was born.  For those of you who don't recognize the fic, it is Faustian Bargain by Sue S. Thank you for the inspiration, Sue! Cheers, Lisa

Congrats, Lisa! I love the name Claire! Am I the only one with a boy?!? Collin has lots of potential suitors if he wants to go the FoLC route.
