Clarisse used to be one of my favorite names; in the past month, Clarissa has been at the forefront of my thoughts, and Clarisse has joined it. What do you think of Clarisse (which I pronounce "kla-REESE," i.e., the same way Clarice is pronounced in English-speaking contexts)?Some combos:Clarisse Amy (honoring)
Clarisse Dorothy
Clarisse Delphine
Clarisse Winifred
Clarisse Emily/Emilie
Clarisse Amandine
Clarisse Leonora/Leonore
Clarisse Leona
Clarisse Leontine
Clarisse Leopoldine
Clarisse Millicent
Clarisse Edwina
Clarisse Eulalie
Clarisse Imogen
Clarisse Roxane
Clarisse Diane/Diana
Clarisse Cosima
Clarisse Juliet
Clarisse Mildred
Clarisse Velma
Clarisse Vivien
Clarisse Ermengarde
Clarisse Edelgard
Clarisse Hildegarde
Clarisse Gertrude
Clarisse Ianthe
Clarisse Iolanthe
Clarisse Clotilde
Clarisse Marguerite
Clarisse Minerva
Clarisse Melpomene
Clarisse Ingrid
Clarisse Agatha

Woah, kinda blown away here because it recently started popping in my mind as well. Maybe the universal subconscious is bumping it up in the ranks. Hey hey!! :D
Either that or we are all feeling the winds of a certain Christmas story dancing in our minds. :)Speaking of, I think it's high time for Clarice AND Rudolph/Rudolf to make a comeback!
Clarice and Clarisse are just pretty, silky, delicate but not fading.
Rudolph is distinguished and classic... and I imagine that they know how to style a winter coat really well. (but that's just my imagination there...)

I prefer Clarissa; for what it's worth, I've only ever heard Clarice pronounced to rhyme with Malice. And I prefer Clare to them all. Glad to see Imogen, Vivien (that spelling!), Agatha and especially Barbara among your mns: Barbara is a very rare sighting!

I love Clarisse but tend to favor it in the middle. Clarissa is the one I would use as the FN, even if it is a but more pedestrian. But maybe you have a point? Perhaps I should be reconsidering Clarisse in the first spot. Ik people mention silence of the lambs but I always think Princess Diaries first because I'm a millennial/ Gen Z cusper and Princess Diaries was a staple of baby me's childhood 😆 Queen Clarisse!

I think it's absolutely stunning! I know of a girl around my age (21 years old) named Clarise, that was supposed to be Clarisse. I love how French and quaint it is, and I also love its sister, Clarissa (which I do have a preference for). Personally, the name reminds me of Clarice, from Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer (love her).I think that you have some stunning combinations! My favorites have to be:
Clarisse Dorothy
Clarisse Amy (The repetitive "EE" ending-sounds in this combination [same with Dorothy, but it's one of my most favorite names] isn't my cup of tea...but the honoring aspect for your mother is so touching!!)
Clarisse Agatha
Clarisse Minerva
Clarisse Ingrid
Clarisse Fernanda
Clarisse Mildred
Clarisse Barbara
Clarisse Imogen
Clarisse Diana
Clarisse VelmaSome of my own combinations I'd recommend, using your wonderful PNL:
Clarisse Angelica
Clarisse Dorothea
Clarisse Judith
Clarisse Ethel
Clarisse Hilda
Clarisse Eudora
Clarisse Imelda
Clarisse Dagmar
Clarisse Violetta
Clarisse Bertha

Agreed. Classic. Jodie Foster is brilliant.
