I love both.
I have a young Lucy, but it is short for a longer Dutch name. I think Lucy doesn't sit so well on an adult, and wanted her to have a more grown up name to use as an adult.

To me Marissa works better as child and adult.

I was at school with a Marissa - her nickname was Mint or Minty which I love!

Lucy is nice too.

I was at primary school with a girl called Marissa. She wet her pants when she was maybe four, but was still Marissa the Pisser at the end of year six

Both are really nice. But the only Marissa I know is an extremely twatty cow.
But I've never met a twatty Lucy.

I do however like Larissa (as suggested above) and Melissa is a really lovely name imo.

Lucy is lovely but I prefer Marissa as it's more uncommon and a little more unusual. Not only is Marissa beautiful, it'll be less likely she'll end up in classes at school with other kids with the same name, which is something DH and I considered when picking a name for our DS.
