Thanks to Higuma's inclusion of it on her top-ten list, I'm newly enchanted by the Arthurian Clarissant. It's lissome, silken, and mystical. What do you think?

Some combos:

Clarissant Eulalie
Clarissant Eugenie
Clarissant Elmire
Clarissant Fernanda
Clarissant Mihaela
Clarissant Regina
Clarissant Rowena
Clarissant Leona
Clarissant Matilda/Mathilde
Clarissant Imelda
Clarissant Irene
Clarissant Cecilia/Cecile
Clarissant Louisa
Clarissant Lucia
Clarissant Augusta
Clarissant Patricia
Clarissant Pietra
Clarissant Pascale
Clarissant Viola
Clarissant Eve
Clarissant Jemima
Clarissant Ophira
Clarissant Emilia
Clarissant Ginevra

I think it sounds like the perfect name for an acne cream, or a window cleaner.
https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=clarissant&op=translate (translates as Latin for "they became clear," which is about what I expected, even though I have no actual Latin)

IRL I'd feel about it roughly the same way I feel about Daenerys or Padmé.
I feel like Clarissant is a bit matronly. I feel like Clarissa itself seems more youthful and soft.
I slightly resent it because it looks like Melisant, and Melisant makes more sense, but people don't swoon over that.

Gotta say my first instinct was "it sounds like a brand" as well

Me no likee. Clarissa is lovely, but put an -nt on the end and it turns into pest control. Keep your kitchen to yourself with Clarissant! No more ruined jam.
