Which name?

[purplehydrangea]

At the moment we are thinking of either Marissa or Marianne. What do you think of either of these names & which one is better?

Thank you! X

Marianne - love it!

Ohhh I Like Marcia (I'm not sure if pp saying it sounds like Marcia was a positive thing though) I think it's lovely

Marianne.

I know a lovely Marissa, but for me Marianne wins the day (I liked Sense & Sensibility).

Marianne. It's a beautiful, beautiful name, and I'm also fond of it because it's the name of the girl who befriended me when I arrived in England from Scotland at age 7.

Marianne

Both are lovely! But i think Marianne has the edge for me

I know an adult Larissa that gets shortened to Larry which I think is just so cute lol.

I do like Marissa , I don't know any personally, reminds me of The OC! Marissa was one of the main characters.

Marissa sounds more modern and fits in with the feel of a lot of popular names like Esme and Freya and Poppy. Marianne is a nice name, but sounds pretty dated.

Marianne.

Reminds me of Marianne Faithfull - great association.

I think I prefer Mariella to Marianne or Marissa. Agree that Marissa is more modern than Marianne.

Marianne is lovely. Marissa sounds a bit made up to me.

I prefer Marisa (idk why but it just looks better with one s imo. Is it commonly spelled with two s? ...).

Melissa and Maria Luisa are also really nice imo :)
