Claribel Cone (1864–1929) and Etta Cone (1870–1949), collectively known as the Cone sisters, were American art collectors, world travelers, and socialites who were active during the first part of the 20th century. Claribel trained as a physician and Etta as a pianist. Their social circle included Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein. They gathered one of the best known collections of modern art in the United States at their Baltimore apartments, and the collection now makes up a wing of the Baltimore Museum of Art. Their collection was estimated to be worth almost a billion US dollars in 2002.
Clara Isabel Alegría Vides (1924 – 2018), also known by her pseudonym Claribel Alegría, was a Nicaraguan-Salvadoran poet, essayist, novelist, and journalist who was a major voice in the literature of contemporary Central America. She was awarded the 2006 Neustadt International Prize for Literature.
Claribel Ruth Barnett (1872 – 1951) was an American librarian. She was the librarian of the United States Department of Agriculture from July 1907 until her retirement in November 1940.
Reminds me of Claribel the clown from Howdy Doody.

Reminds me of the word "clarity" - three syllables, emphasis on the first. Hmm, I wouldn't have thought to pair Clara with Belle; they seem so different to me and slightly incompatible, Clara/Claire being dignified and Belle being youthful and bouncy. The end result is interesting and I'm not sure if I like it or not. Claribel. It certainly looks good written.
The use of a variant of this name (Clarabell) for the name of a clown on the old children's show "Howdy Doody" probably killed off this name, at least temporarily.
Shakespeare did NOT use the name Claribel in the Tempest, nor in any of his other plays.

Actually, it is mentioned briefly in 'The Tempest.' However no character in the play bears this name.

Oh dear anon, this glorious name was in fact used in the Tempest, by Shakespeare. From Wikipedia."The play opens as Prospero, having divined that his brother, Antonio, is on a ship passing close by the island (having returned from the nuptials of Alonso's daughter Claribel with the King of Tunis)"Otherwise, I love this name. It reminds me of simpler times and a nice cup of tea in spring. Which is a very nice compliment in my opinion :) Also, I had a great Aunt bearing the name Clara. It's a classy name that doesn't ever go out of style, to me.
