Re: Ithell and Claricia
in reply to a message by speakofthewolf
I'd stick to Ethel and Clarice/Clarissa. Both are distinctive enough without having to resort to garish oddities.

Is Claricia / Claritia much more of a garish oddity than Letitia and Lavinia (both of which I adore)?
Lavinia and Letitia along with Clarissa aren't oddities. If you added one more unnecessary furbelow to each, e.g. Lavinietta or Letitiana, then you'd be in the same place in which I'd categorize Claritia, which would be better suited to a wine bottle label.

I guess we're pronouncing Claritia differently. It's trisyllabic for me, and the last two syllables are identical to those of Letitia.
