Chlorida
I've never seen Chlorida, though I have seen Clorinda before (it's the actress Linda Fiorentino's real name).At first I was digging Chlorida when I saw this post, but then the sound started reminding me too much of Florida.***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

I guess it depends on how you pronounce it: Chlorida could be either "KLOR-id-uh" or “klor-IHD-uh".I know Chlorida doesn’t exist, but it was just a random thought - since Ancient Greek names that end in "-is" seem to always change to "-ida" when they’re used as modern Greek names. You can see this with Elpis and Elpida (a very common Greek name), Phyllis and Phyllida, Iris and Irida, etc.
I assumed the same might be true with Chloris and the hypothetical Chlorida.
