Clarisse

I feel like the name Clarisse is a beautiful name, it is very unique, but it's not like one of those weird names. It is very bold and flowy, and I feel like this spelling is also more flowy than Clarice. I feel like the spelling C-L-A-R-I-C-E reminds me of rice, and I wouldn't want to name my child after food. Overall, the name Clarisse is amazing, so if you want to name your daughter that then go for it! I love the name.

Lovely and ethereal.

I favor this name over Clarice and Clarissa.

We named our daughter Clarisse, nickname Clary. People seem to love her name and I am glad we went with this more modern-looking version than Clarice. While I love both names, there are far less comments about Silence of the Lambs when people read her name rather than just hear it!

I love the name Clarisse. I prefer this spelling over Clarice, because I think that spelling looks a little bit plain and old lady-ish, and also doesn't have the Clarisse McClellan association, who is a book character I love (mentioned before by another poster).

I think Clarisse looks and sounds beautiful. It can also be shortened to the more down-to-earth Reese, Claire, and perhaps Clara. How lovely!

I want this to be the name of my first daughter.

I find Clarisse ineffably enchanting.
