Help[Opinions] Re: Millicent and Clarissa
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I like them both. Millicent and Melisande are on our lists with Millie and Mellie as nicknames. I find Millicent to be a bold choice, but totally usable specifically because of the nickname option in Millie. Actually, I agree with your DH that Milly is a better spelling.
Clarissa. My daughter gets called this ALL the time. I have only met one IRL and I used to watch a TV show called Clarissa Explains It All - so I have been aware of the name for a long time.
Even though they are wrong in assuming my Clarisse is a Clarissa, people are always commenting on how pretty Clarissa is. I actually really like the name. It's not very common, yet is a fresh use of an established name.
It has lots of nickname potential, and it ages well. I would go with the same nn we have for Clarisse, which is Clary.
