Personal experiences with the name Clarice: | Edit

My name is Clarice, I'm 14 and I love my name! It's rather unique but not too /out there/. A few people call me Clare but I usually just go by Clarice. All my siblings and I have uncommon names begining with 'C':
Cayden (M, 21)
Coleton (M, 18, Cole)
Connolly (F, 16)
Clarice (ME-14, Clare)
Corinne (F, 11)

I grew up with a girl named Clarice. She was fairly secretive about her true name though. Almost everyone she knew thought her given name was Clare.

This is my middle name and I really like it. I wish my parents had made this my first name rather than my middle name.
