A lot of the popularity of Corliss was because of the radio program (later also a short lived television program) Meet Corliss Archer, about a teenage girl:

Corliss is very interesting to me as one of the first surnames to become much more common as a given name for girls than boys.
I'm not sure I'd want to use it personally, though, because of its resemblance to "coreless", which could mean "not having a core or center" and so sounds like someone with a shallow or empty personality.

Thank you for telling me about the radio program Cleveland, I had wondered why Corliss had popped up on the charts.

I don't mind it. I seem to be liking the suffix -liss ever since someone posted the name Lyliss (which I am beginning to like quite a a lot). I think I prefer Keilis (the name of that singer "my milkshake brings all the boys in the yard..." I think.)

It sounds like "careless". I don't like it.
