My name is
Marisa and I pronounce it mah-RISS-uh. I sometimes pronounce my name mer-iss-UH. Sometimes my mother calls me mah-REE-suh, but usually she calls me mah-RISS-uh.
I love the name
Marisa /
Marissa. I also really like
Larissa /
Larisa and
Carissa / Carisa. I also like
Miranda and how it makes me think of the
Tempest. The
Tempest makes me think of the ocean.
Also I don't think that the name
Marissa is too common. I've never been in a class with another
Marisa /
Marissa in my life. I've only met a few people with the name
Marisa /
Marissa. I think around 5 or 6 people and none of them went to my school. And I think my name was more popular the year I was born than it is currently. Sometimes people think that I say that my name is
Melissa. It's not annoying unless you count the few times where the person couldn't remember my name and kept calling me
Melissa. Most people react very warmly to hearing my name. I've never had anyone treat me negatively because of my name. No one ever made fun of my name since it actually is kind of hard to think of nicknames for
Marisa. I've had a lot of people complement my name. I think it is a sunny sounding name that makes people think of the green-blue waters of the ocean and the sea. So yeah it is a great name to have. :D
