Have I gone cuckoo or is this a pretty name?

I'm not a Julia btw.

I’m personally not a fan - sounds like a mix of Julie and Lisa, or Julie and Alyssa

That cuckoo wasn’t red on my phone!! Grin

BeesAnkles · 13/06/2021 19:11

I don't like it, sorry. It's not awful though.

TenThousandSpoons · 13/06/2021 19:16

Is it pronounced Jull-issa (jull like gull) or Jew-lissa?
I’m not too keen, it sounds like Julie and Melissa have been pushed together.
Prefer Juliet or Clarissa.

There was a character on Cosby show spinoff different world who was called Julisa pronounced ja'lisa

Fyredraca · 13/06/2021 19:34

It's a no from me.

user1493494961 · 13/06/2021 19:49

It sounds like a fruit drink.

VodkaSlimline · 13/06/2021 19:53

Is it a name? Or have you just made it up?

MadeOfStarStuff · 13/06/2021 20:13

It sounds like two names mushed together and doesn’t look nice

princesslarmadrama · 13/06/2021 20:17

I thought of Jurassic Park 😂

Chilldonaldchill · 13/06/2021 20:18

I don't think there's anything attractive about it at all.

EssentialHummus · 13/06/2021 20:18

Nope, two named mushed together as pp said.

skeemee · 13/06/2021 20:19

Is it not in that Ting Tings song 🎶 that’s Not my name?

Good song. Not such a good name

SeanChailleach · 13/06/2021 21:16

I like it. It sounds like it already exists. It's pretty.

wherewildflowersgrow · 13/06/2021 21:20

I don't like it

TatianaBis · 13/06/2021 21:26

Two names have mated that should not have done.

Didn’t a poster recently suggest something like Garyette?

Reminds me of that.

TatianaBis · 13/06/2021 21:27

Garyanne it was. 🤣

Synchrony · 13/06/2021 21:37

I think it's really pretty and was on my shortlist of middle names.

StayCalm99 · 13/06/2021 21:39

No. But then I don't like Vanessa or Melissa either.
I like Julia, Juliet and Julie is a nice name too although not v fashionable right now.

caringcarer · 13/06/2021 21:39

Your daughter would be unlikely to find another child with same name if you want an unique name.

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 13/06/2021 21:41

It's not a name, it's a mash up of two. Like when a couple used to name their house after themselves in the 1970's thinking they were clever. Steve and Loras house - Steora.

partyatthepalace · 13/06/2021 22:03

It sounds made up, and I think it was made up for the Brazilian actress (her name is Julia).

To me Julissa sounds like she lives in a New Mexico trailer park and has been totally fucked over by life. So that’s a no from me Grin but if you want something different from Julia / Juliet Juliana is quite nice

5566rfghh · 13/06/2021 22:09

Sorry, but cuckoo 🤣😀. Melissa?

Lalliella · 14/06/2021 00:07

Oh dear, no. Sounds like a mash-up - not good.
