Marissa?

[Tillygetsit]

What do you think?

Makes me think ‘American prom queen’ Sounds like quite an 80s name so maybe due a comeback? It’s quite a pretty name.

I love it. Very sweet but not twee.

Very pretty.

Does make me think of The OC because she was the lead character and I loved it in my teens.

I prefer Melissa

I like it

Love it

Love it. Used to know someone called Marissa, she was a lovely person, beautiful, kind and very funny.

Lovely

I know a teenage Melissa.
She is really lovely and has a strong caring nature.
Therefore I'm rather biased and influenced by her but I think it is a great name.

Really like it - pretty name.

I prefer Marisa with one s. Like Marisa Tomei.

I like it, it’s pretty.

I like it

Gives me American 80s girl vibe so it’s a little dated, but a nice enough name

Nice but I prefer Marisa pronounced Mareesa

What Kintan said. In a good way. It's a lovely, pretty name that's not too cutesy and would suit a baby or a professional adult.

But as a baby she could have Missy for short!

I love it but I have a 7 week old Marissa so biased.

Love it 😃

It's ok. I'm not keen on -issa names generally, but I prefer it to Melissa or Clarissa.

I think Marissa is lovely. Not too flowery.
Do you like Anissa, which is even less popular?

Prefer Larissa.

Trying to get away from the Ann names as I have a Susannah. OH has a cousin Melanie and we dont want her to think baby is named after her. Clarissa is a bit frillier somehow. Missy is a cute shortening. OH actually likes it so it's top of the list at the mo. Thanks for the help.

Really like it. Also prefer the pronunciation mareesa.

Nice, pretty name. I also prefer it spelt Marisa.

I like it, pretty name.

Prefer Clara over Clarissa and not really keen on Marissa. It's quite frilly and dated.

How about:
Cora
Mara
Martha
