If I like Marissa

If I like Marissa, what other names would I like?

It's the only name DH and I agree on, but both agree it's not "the one".

Boys name would be Conrad.

Prefer names outside of the top 500. I have the most achingly common name and it does my head in.

Similar but not the same IYKWIM? Really like M names, but don't really like the "Issa" on the end of Marissa

Oooh these are really good, thank you! I'll show them to DH.

I love Maeve and Maria but DH won't hear of it.

Also considering Marceline (nn Marcie) which I think has a similar feel.
