Re: Clarissa / Clarice
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I read in Bruce Lansky's Baby Name Survey that Clarissa is indeed considered 'snobby' -- but also artistic. I've always liked my name though, even as a little girl I refused to be called 'Claire.' My middle name is Diane -- a family name -- I think it works well to pair it with a classic name. I especially like the meaning (http://wiki.name.com/en/Clarissa)
Clarice -- well, until the Silence of the Lambs frenzy disappears, this one is tougher... I've been teased about it, a couple times...
