How would you pronounce . . .

Marisa

Bearing in mind the differences in regional accent/dialect, the two options I would offer are

1. Marissa (i as in hip and long s as in miss)
2. Mareesa (emphasis on the i as in pizza)

TIA!!

Option 1 and I'm basing this on The O.C

Option 1, I work with a Marisa :)

Muh-rh-sa

Option 1, but I live in the US, if that makes a difference.

I don't know any Marisas (only Marissas), so the spelling would throw me a bit. I'd probably go with option 1.

Option 1 like Clarissa :-)
