Marissa

Lucy!

GeillisTheWitch · 05/04/2017 21:21

I prefer Lucy but only because the only Marissa I ever met was completely batshit loopy.

TheoriginalLEM · 05/04/2017 21:21

My dd is lucy and a friend called marissa. Friend is Italian and first time i heard the name. I really like it.

For some reason her dh calls her mareeesa but he is a twonk.

I like both, lucy is more traditional (in the uk) marissa is unusual without being pretentious or "out there"

Id have to toss a coin Grin

Fwiw we couldn't decide between lucy or sofia but when dd arrived we waited a week and then went for the name she suited.

Lucy

MrsJayy · 05/04/2017 21:30

Lucy only because I went to school with a Marissa she was a hardfaced cowbag , Lucy is nice

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 05/04/2017 21:30

I like both, but I do prefer Lucy.

I also love Lucia. But Lucy is really lovely imo.

MrsJayy · 05/04/2017 21:31

Oh I might have gone to school with you Gellis Grin

alltouchedout · 05/04/2017 21:32

Lucy :)

MrsJayy · 05/04/2017 21:33

I have never met a Lucy I didn't like i know a few from adult down to girl and they are all lovely.

SuperBeagle · 05/04/2017 21:39

Lucy.

Echoing PPs, the only Marissa I knew was awful.

donkey86 · 05/04/2017 21:40

Another vote for Lucy

QuietNinjaTardis · 05/04/2017 21:41

My cousin is Marisa pronounced mareesa who is a bit weird and I know one Lucy who is a bullshitter. So Marissa over Lucy for me. But pick something else entirely is my advice 👍🏼

AdaColeman · 05/04/2017 21:43

Lucy, not only is it such a pretty name, but every Lucy I know is just lovely.
The one Marissa I know is quite hard faced.

dearmeee · 05/04/2017 21:48

Love Lucy

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/04/2017 22:18

Both lovely.

DramaAlpaca · 05/04/2017 22:45

Lucy

Buntysoven · 06/04/2017 00:28

The Lucy I went to school with was truly horrible and I used to work with a stuck up pretentious cow called Lucy but the one I work with now is lovely. Marissa gets my vote. Lovely and more unusual

deluxetrolley · 06/04/2017 00:39

Lucy, but spelt Lucie

CakeRattleandRoll · 06/04/2017 00:47

Love Marissa.

CakeRattleandRoll · 06/04/2017 00:47

Or how about combining them - Larissa?

reuset · 06/04/2017 01:13

Lucy. Marissa is ok. Larissa nice too, as suggested.

reuset · 06/04/2017 01:13

Though I do like Mari as a shortening. Hmm

Sophronia · 06/04/2017 01:14

Marissa
