Do you like my potential names?

I want to name my children these names. Jane is from my beloved late grandmother. Claudia is from one of my favorite children's books (I'm a children's lit specialist). Gable is from Clark Gable.

Claudia Jane

Max Gable

Update:

Claudia is the main character in "The Mixed Up Files of Ms. Basil E. Frankweiler."

    I like all the names except Gable, which I think of as an architectural feature, not a name. Since you're using it as a middle name, though, and in honor of someone (not just 'cause it "sounds cool"), I'll decline to complain about it.

    Max is a little overused, but it's still a good name. Classic but accessible, bold but not ridiculous.

    Claudia Jane is great on every level. Both names have special meaning to you, and they're just awesome names. Jane has a long history and a sturdy kind of spunkiness, and the elegant Claudia is interesting and unusual without being weird.

    Two thumbs up!

    Claudia Jane is gorgeous. Love Gable, but I prefer Max as a nickname for Maximilian or Maxwell.

    Was it the Baby Sitters Club you got that name from??

    I like Claudia Jane

    I like Gable but not Max

    How about Charles (Charlie) Gable

    I really like Claudia Jane.

    Max Gable sounds like a superhero. Max on its own just seems too childish and informal to be used as a person's full first name.

    I've always liked the name Claudia. Max Gable sounds like a secret agent. Kinda cool.

    Not as cool as naming your daughters Hannah, Leah and Alexis though.

    I'm not too fond of Max Gable, but Claudia Jane has a nice ring to it.

    I really like Claudia Jane. Max Gable seems oddly familiar. Is it similar to a famous person's name?

    Max Gable is pretty cool

    Claudia Jane...hmmm not so keen on the name claudia but it has a nice ring to it.

    If you like the name and it feels right then go with your instinct!

    I have always loved the name Sophia Alexandra for a girl.

    When I was younger a read a series called " Babysitters Club", there was a girl named Claudia in those stories. I always loved the name...but hey it seems like you have a pattern with choosing names, so I say you go with your first gut. And by the way your kids may just like to hear the stories about how they recieved thier names
