i heard the name Corliss as the female character in a play once. it sounded like a real name (it was sort of a 50's style play and the name seemed to fit the era) i was wondering if it is a real name or a made up one. any ideas on the origin/meaning? thanks!

I'm "collecting" names and I've got quite many name books!
