Oh. I hadn't heard that. I've only ever heard her name as "SEER-shuh." Perhaps I'm not paying close enough attention.
I'm glad you like the
Clare spelling. Sometimes I think I'm the only one. I fear most people think of it as a misspelling, when really it's the English way. The French
Claire looks prissy to me. I pronounce them the same way so there's no logic to it. It's just my weird take, influenced no doubt by my sister and niece.
