Dh really likes this name.

Not that sure about it.

Could it be spelled differently?

What do you make of it? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Sorry but I really don't like it, don't think that a different spelling would make any difference to me.

I love Alyssa. I suppose it could be spelled Elyssa, Elissa and Alyssa.

milkteef · 18/08/2012 12:10

Alissa even.

I really like it. Not overly common I don't think. Top 300 for sure but I'm not sure whereabouts. And I don't think it's princess-y

I love it

We have an Alyssa in our family but I dont know any others.

It's a nice name. Alternatives could be Alicia (pronounced either A-li-cee-ya or A-lee-sha) Melissa or good old Alice.
