Help[Opinions] Re: Do you think Elissa is usable and how do you pronounce it?
in reply to a message by Jonquil
I like it and I pronounce it 'eh-LISSA' (it's surprising to hear that Elissa is so mispronounced; it's pretty straightforward to me. *shrugs*). I think it's nice. It seems a bit more nickname-y to me, but for someone else, it could make a fine stand-alone name.
There was an 1920s/1930s actress named Elissa Landi who starred in several films, including the sequel to The Thin Man. She was born Elisabeth Marie Christine, but went by Elissa. She was rather talented and classy, too, so I associate the name largely with her.
