THIS IS OFF HER WEBSITE’S FAQ:

Clary Fray is named after two friends of mine. Her name was originally Valerie Frayre (after the artist who designed the runes), then Valerie Frayne, then (when a friend of mine was also writing a book with a heroine named Valerie) Clary Frayne, then Clary Fray (my editor’s choice) - then when I realized Clary was a nickname, she became Clarice, and finally, Clarissa. (She’s not named after me. She is named after my friend Valerie Frayre, and my friend Clary.)
*ahem* FREIRE
Just sayin'
for serious tho, a lifetime of people saying it wrong, I have to now worry about people copy+pasting it wrong? Alas!
