Help[Opinions] Re: Marissa vs Melissa
in reply to a message by SPNFamily
I'd rather be a Marissa, I'd rather meet a Melissa.
If I had to name a baby ... if the "datedness" factor was equal between them, Melissa. Since it's not equal, probably Marissa.
In general I prefer Melissa. It is much prettier sounding and less synthetic and just a better name. But it matters that it has been overused, if I'm naming a baby. It's got more of an image stuck to it and I don't like that.
Also, I have hated a Marissa. I could get over that because I like the name - it just comes to mind when I look at the name by itself, unattached to anyone. I've never hated a Melissa.
