Behind the Name: Comments for the name Clarisse

Comments for CLARISSE:

This name reminds me of Clarisse McClellan from Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. I think it's beautiful.

I find Clarisse ineffably enchanting.

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.
