Thoughts on Clarice?

My husband so badly wants to name our daughter Clarice but I can’t help but think of silence of the lambs and that’s exactly the character he wants to name her after cause he thinks she’s a badass. I suggested Clarisse instead but he says no if it’s not spelled the same. I picked the middle names after my grandmother so I really want to let him lead on the first name so I just need some outside opinions on the name.

I haven't heard of Clarisse, how is it pronounced?

Silence of the lambs or Clarice Bean.

But mostly Silence of the lambs.

How about Clarissa or Carissa
