Ehhh, the ending of Odessa comes perilously close to the "issa" and "yssa" endings I despise. Yet the long O at the start seems to lift the name out of the "pwetty-pwetty" status I despise in names such as Melissa and Alyssa. In fact, Odessa seems heavy and not feather-light like "issa" and "yssa" names. Right now the most I could say is that if you held a gun to my head and told me I had to name my newborn daughter Melissa or Odessa, I'd go with Odessa.
