What do people think of the name Klarise

Clarice - OK.

Klarise - NO.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

As long as you spell it correctly (Clarice) it's ok.

If you, or rather she, can live with the sound effects and references to fava beans...

No. But I used to teach a nice Clarissa.

Tries to think of a nice name beginning with K. Is there one?

It looks an awful lot like you got nearly to the end of your op and fell on the keyboard.

Katharine.

And, erm.......

janeite, the name you are looking for is Katharine.

Katy!

Don't like Klarise or Clarice, sorry!

Uncanny x-posts.

We're right though. That's the one.

at ShowOfHands.

Thanks guys I probably shouldn't have asked. Just that we adopted dd and can't change her name. I want to start calling her Cerys as it sounds similar but nicer. DH says no as her identity is now fixed. He is right but I'm finding this name so hard to live with.

LMAO
good one.

How old is DD?

Can you shorten it to 'Klarrie'? (thinking of the Archers!) Sounds nicer IMO.

It really reminds me of when Hannibal Lecter says it in Silence of the Lambs, which is really creepy

(Jodie Foster's character was called Clarice)

How old is she? How about shortening it to Rissa if she's still little?

Katherine - yes, that is nice.

What about Elise? Or Lisey?

She's 3. Social workers are against change and I do understand their reasons but I think she will be teased. And call me a snob but the wrong spelling sounds chavvy to me.

Do go for Rissa - I think it's lovely!

Surely at 3 she wouldn't really notice if you changed the spelling of her name, but it was still pronounced the same,
unless she is mega advanced and is reading already,

DH and I heading for a row as I am relaying your comments and he is determined no change. He doesn't like the name but says it is her. Do think we will change the spelling though
