185.0. "Clarinda" by MSD36::STHILAIRE (Happiness is Springsteen tix) Wed Feb 24 1988 10:14

    One of my great-grandmothers was named Clarinda.  She died
    long before I was born, but since I happened to be born on her
    birthday, my mother used to tell me about her and gave me
    a ring that belonged to her.  Anyway, I have always loved
    the name.  I think it looks beautiful when written and sounds
    beautiful when spoken.
    
    I kind of wish I had named my only daughter Clarinda, but
    instead I chose Melissa which has since become a little too popular.  
    I've never heard of any other "real" woman or girl named Clarinda.
    However, my ancestors didn't make it up because I have found it
    listed as a variation of the name Clara in name books.
    
    Has anybody else ever heard of or known anyone with this name?
