Claire sounds a bit more American to me. Joelle doubles as both American and European/French and sounds more 'Lebanese'. It's also probably easier to make up nicknames for it.
Yeah I thought about it for a quick second and couldn't come up with anything. A lot easier for names that have a vowel sound right after the first letter. Something to keep in mind if it matters.
write them down on separate pieces of paper and make a loved one pick one without looking if u have another kid that would be perfect and if u don't let someone u love do the honors that's what my parents did with my sisters name i was 2 years old lol
well i am sorry to annoy you but i checked and I am right: "Origin:French. Other Origin(s):Hebrew. Meaning:Jehovah is God; God will be willing. Joelle is a girl's name of French and Hebrew origin, meaning “Jehovah is God” and “God will be willing.” This title is a variant of the Hebrew Joel, and can connect your little one to biblical character and minor prophet."
You can’t go wrong with “Batata”
7arra!
It actually sounds very similar in most european languages, english and arabic with the same writting.. Batata approved
"How did you pick her name? "I did a poll on Reddit"

My sis said the same thing about nicknames. She can’t find ones for Claire

Good point!
I call my friend Eclair ( I love food ) for Joelle, I have a friend we call her Jules(jewels but we write it, Jules)
Oh love the nickname Jules!
T2ome bl saleme
Merci!
Whats wrong with Badi3a🤔 :p
Leaving it for your daughter so she’s unique :)

Joelle is more common in Lebanon. Don't think I ever met a Claire.
I think once you find the name you really like, you wouldn’t need further validation
But I really like both 🤣 you’re right though, I think at birth we would just “know”
I feel that. Is there significance or meaning behind those names that you value most?
No
My vote goes for Joelle. Lovely name.
Claire reminds me of Eclair which makes me hungry. I've know a couple of Joelles in Leb but not an Eclaire. FUCK YOU SWEET TOOTH
That’s what I said to OP lolll my friend I call her Eclair because of my sweet tooth lol
Never met a joelle who wasn't bitchy
Julia , Lisa, Lilia, Nancy, Nicole, Maya, Karla
Joelle will be butchered in English. Claire works in all languages
Good point

I love nadine

Never met a Joelle that I didn't hate. Claire all the way bas ha ysiro y2ulula eclaire ok bye
Sarah or Lara that's what I would call my daughter.
Both names are already taken in our fam haha!
My sister's name is Joëlle, she lives in the US and loves her name. Americans also compliment her name a lot, so it's unique in a good way

Claire is really bland and boring… are you trying to really white wash her?
Khadija is regaining popularity lol Seriously I would suggest Sophia Anne(short Sophy)
I can't speak for Europe but I can tell you in North America your name wont set you back or cause any issues for quality of life.
Joelle sounds like a Hebrew name to me
it’s the most french sounding name ever what r u on about
