Claire has an interesting structure with the l providing height early on and the a-i-r section requiring careful spacing. The capital C is one of the simpler capitals, which is nice because the l-a-i sequence in the middle demands your attention. The re ending finishes cleanly.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital C ends with a short rightward stroke. Push up immediately into the l's tall stem.
Close the a fully before moving into the i. The two letters look similar, so keep them distinct.
The i connects to the small cursive r with a short upstroke. Keep the r's bump subtle.
The a and i sit next to each other and can look similar. Make the a round and closed, the i straight with a dot.
Dot the i after finishing the whole name. Do not interrupt your flow.
The capital C to l transition involves a big height jump. Practice it until it feels natural.
