DD: Marissa or Lucy?

[Almondbiscotti]

Over to you! DH and I cant decide!

Lucy

My mother is called Marie so concerned over Marissa being nicknamed the same thing!

Lucy is easier.

I've never heard of Marissa only Marisa pronounced Mareesa.

Marissa by miles for me!

Lucy, a name that will grow with her. My DN is a Lucy and she is an absolute joy but she is only 6.

Marissa is more unusual so that gets my vote. It may get shortened to Marie/Mari though so if that bothers you, I like the suggestion of Larissa.

Lucy

Lucy :-)

Marissa

Lucy definitely. I really don't like Marissa - can't put my finger on why though.

Lucy.

If I had to choose, it would be Marissa/Larissa.
Lucy is lovely, but there are lots of little Lucy's around.

Marissa, IMO Lucy (tho a nice name) is over-popular and peaked 10 years ago.

Lucy.

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.

Marisa but spelt this way- the double ss is American

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.

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

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

Lucy is nice too.

Marissa x 100000000

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.
