By Granny Nora 5 Months, 1 Week Ago I like Claire, it reminds me of a pretty, strong, trustworthy person. My mother in law who had 5 sons always wanted to name a daughter Clarissa. Only she was prouncing it just like Claire - only add the issa. Clar-issa Hope this helps.

By Honing 5 Months, 1 Week Ago Both names are gorgeous! If I had to choose I would go with the simpler Claire, or perhaps Clarissa nicknamed Claire could be an option? I pronounce Clarissa [klah-RIS-sah]. Good luck!

By FreshDrinkOfWater 5 Months, 1 Week Ago Whenever someone gives the option of Claire and another name, I always pick Claire, and not only because it's my name. It means bright in French, and there aren't many nicknames for it because of its simplicity and lack of complication. I say Claire all the way.
