Re: Yes, it is. Meet me, teenage TMI Fangirl. It's short for Clarissa in the books nt
Yeah, I'm a tiny bit addicted. :) I'd always assumed Clarice/Clarissa/Clarisse was related to Clara/Clare/Claire. They've all got that similarity to the 'clar' root, as in 'clarity'. Clear and bright. I'd be surprised if they weren't related. Ooh, and here it says that Claritia is a derivative of Clara, so that's good to know. Clarice and Claritia definitely seem like they're related."You can have freedom, or you can have peace. But not both at once."

I think Clarity is a decent name just as is (in the tradition of Patience, Hope, Destiny, etc), but my favourite of the bunch is Claire, with Clara as a close second.

Yes, Clarity is nice, one of my favourite virtue names. I think all the names of that group are pretty nice, I especially love Clara and Clarissa. They just seem so clean-cut and classy.
