Clarissa

Very pretty, I personally prefer Marissa but it is a close second favorite of mine of the -Issa names. If you like it I say go for it. It's very classy.

Been on the hunt for a new middle name. This one stands out, a book I loved as a child had the main child character named Clarissa. I can still see the cover, a young pioneer girl with a blue dress, white apron. I had never heard the name before I read that book. I loved the name then and still, it is one of my favorite names.

I used this name for a character. (Though the character hated it because she thought it was too girly and went by "Rissa"

Pretty name.

This is so darn cute to me!!!

Yay! My name is Clarissa, too!

true. I remember loving this name when I read the books years ago... I'm honestly not sure whether I prefer Clara or Clarissa...

I think Clara is a nicer choice, Clarissa sounds like a spoiled little girl who thinks she's better than everyone.

My absolute childhood favourite girls name, and I still love it <3

Pretty name.

Like Eloise, I've really associated Clarissa with a spoiled-type children's book character, making me feel like it's an eternal little girl's name that doesn't quite age well- although that's not necessarily true. Clarissa is a pretty name, but I much prefer the simpler, more vintage and soft-sounding Clara.

MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!!!!!!!!

My name is Clarissa and I happy to know that it not a commen name it not like the other names 😊

That's my name =) .. the best about having this name is that I know since now just one another Clarissa personally. It's not such a outworn name.

So did I! I adore this name!!!

I discovered this name because of Clary Fray :)
