Cara.
I don't like Clara at all because of the Cl.
Cora too much like Cora Napple.

Cora.
Cara Delevingne puts me off Cara. I'm put off Clara purely by the fact that Mumsnet loves it so much 😂.
Seriously: they are all nice names. I may be biased in favour of Cora Wink.

Cora! Not keen on Clara and Cara is very common and a little bland

Cara, it has a lovely meaning (dear friend or beloved)

Cora is my favourite name ever! Beautiful.

The other two on your list are nice too!

Cora is my favourite, followed by Cara.

Clara always feels a bit more frilly to me, probably because of the nutcracker.

I like them all. If I had to pick just one I'd go for Cara. All are lovely though.

I always feel clumsy with the ‘l’ trying to say Clara. Prefer Cara and Clara to Cora.
Also like Carla

All nice! I think Clara is a little frillier, but you might be into that. Cara would be my favourite.

Cara is my favourite, it's a lovely timeless name I think.

Cora is lovely and probably the most unusual of the 3, if that has any bearing on your decision.
