[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!!
Does [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (Cl-aar-uh) work better as a full name?

Both work as full names. [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] is far posher - but/and has “rissole” in it. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is lovely but seems very popular.

5

Either make good first names. I think I prefer [name_f]Clara[/name_f] but I prefer [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] over both

6

Both work but I love the sweet simplicity of [name_f]Clara[/name_f]!

7

[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] has elegance and flair - but also a sharpness. It feels more regal and unusual.

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is bright, sweet and light, fresh and sparky.

I guess it depends what vibe you want, but personally I prefer [name_f]Clara[/name_f]

[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f].

They both work well but I think [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] is a little more special for me

[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] has a more unique feel and has lots of nickname opportunities even including [name_f]Clara[/name_f]! But [name_f]Clara[/name_f] has a classic not common vibe and sounds really cute I think I prefer [name_f]Clara[/name_f]!

I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f]!

[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] is more fun.
