See under the fold!
This is my daughter Klara! I gave birth to her a couple of hours ago. We are still not allowed to bring in our things, so these are hospital clothes. The Ukrainian style hat is provided by the hospital, too.
Even though we gave her the Jewish name Klara (pronounced with two “ah” like in “art” and not like in “eh”), she has the most Slavic appearance possible.
The rest of the photos will be password protected. More details to follow.
Congratulations to you and N! You have a very lovely daughter.

Wow! Congratulations!!!
Klara was the name of your father’s mother, right?
In Israel there are no Klaras, so it is a Soviet-Jewish name only.

In the US the name is actually very rare. There are many Claras with a “c” but that’s a Hispanic name so it doesn’t work for us.

Sylvia Plath, too, it seems. Then I got curious and discovered that Pavlova and Cotton Mather were also born on this day. It starts to get meaningless after a while because Arsenio Hall and Arlen Specter are also on the list … so it gets harder to come up with a personality genealogy for the day.
