I voted for Penelope Claire, but I just wanted to say that if you go with Clarissa, I would suggest using this correct spelling instead of Clairissa. You could still use the nn Claire/Clare.

I voted for Clairissa Annabel. I would use the spelling Clarissa Annabel though. I think the nn Clair would still work but I like Clarissa on it's own better. I really like Penelope Clair and would've voted for that but I don't like the nn Ella for the name. Both names are really nice so you can't go wrong with whatever you decide. Good Luck!

Penelope Claire GMV, but I don't really like Ella as a nn. Penny is much more spunky/unique/cute for a little girl in my opinion. I don't dislike Ella as a name, it's just that all the Elle/Ella/Ellie names are SO popular. But the great thing about the full name is that there are several nn possibilities that she can use and grow with. I love it!

I love the name Penelope and my last name is Clair, so of course I voted for Penelope Claire. I have also thought of what nn I would use, and since I'm not in love with Penny/Pennie, I was thinking of Nella. I think it's cute and sweet, but would be distinctly different than all the little Ellas we hear so much about. I do like Ella too though. Just thought that Nella might be another good option for you. : ) Good luck with what you decide!

I picked Claire. It is a beautiful name.

A name I had on my wish list was Carissa (Cari ..pronounced care-ee).

I love Clarissa. It is such a sweet and not overly used name. I would spell it "clarissa" and you can still have the nn Claire.

I voted for Penelope Claire as I LOVE these names and this combo! However, I much much prefer the nn Pen/Penny for Penelope. Ella doesn't seem to be a nn for Penelope, at leat to me, and with the onslaught of the "Ella" names (Isabella, Gabriella, Annabelle, etc), she probably would not be the only Ella in her age group. However, great name, and congrats!
