I adore both Penelope and Clarissa but both NNs are NMS. Had I not seen the nickname choices, I would have voted for Penelope.


Good luck!

I chose Clairissa, I guess I didn't look close enough because I thought it was spelled Clarissa. I love the name, but I think I would go with the traditional spelling for it.
Congratulations, and best of luck!

I love Clarissa, but chose Penelope b/c the Clairissa spelling just looks silly. She'll spend the rest of her life correcting people. There's nothing wrong with using a nickname that isn't literally spelt out in the full name. I'd go with Clarissa, nn Claire or else Penelope. FWIW, you should know that Ella is hugely popular as a nn and given name, she won't be the only little Ella in her class at school! I'd be tempted to use Penny or Poppy or even to call her by her middle name. Good luck!
