Re: Clarice?
in reply to a message by Emilie
I didn't think Clarice was ruined by Silence of the Lambs at all. However... I tried to think of other uses of the name Clarice in pop culture, and this is all I came up with:
1. Silence of the Lambs (already mentioned)
2. It Takes Two (not hugely famous, but I was a huge Mary-Kate & Ashley fan as a little girl - anyway, Clarice was the villain who nearly became Ashley's stepmother)
3. Precious (her real given name is Claireece Precious Jones)
4. Fahrenheit 451 (Clarisse is the independent thinker who gets killed)
So... yeah, Anglophone pop culture tends to associate the name Clarice (any spelling) with either negative characters, or negative / tragic environments.
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):
