Carissa--all the others look like Caress, which changes the pronunciation for me, and may lead to teasing. I prefer Clarissa.I like Blythe and Ruth, but I think they run together.Zahra"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

I like Carissa the best.I don't like the double th in Blythe Ruth.I like the spelling Zara better but I would guess there'd be less pronunciation confusion with Zahra (but perhaps you'd get spelling confusion instead?).
I'm too lazy to think of a clever signature.

1. I like Carissa best
2. Yes, Blythe Ruth sounds strange to me b/c both names are so short and both end in the TH-sound
3. I like Zara best"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

I don't like Carissa, but like Clarissa.Blythe Ruth is a bit of a mouthful, and I think of Blythe as a last name, like Gilbert Blythe in Anne of Green Gables.And I prefer the spelling Zara.

Carissa: ok
Caressa and Caresse: terribly trashy, sounds like a porn star name... Means "petted" and "petting" in French...Blythe Ruth: ok, although Blythe is boyish to me. Ruth is great.Zara is simpler, and Zahra more exotic.

I like Carissa best, lovely name. Yes, Blythe Ruth sounds strange (sorry, they're both great names, just not together) and I prefer Zara.

I prefer Carissa out of Carissa, Caressa, and Caresse. Caressa and Caresse remind me of the lotion. Carissa, Blythe, and Zahra are all beautiful names. Blythe Ruth doesn't seem to flow all that well. I like Zara the best (with this spelling).

I like Carissa best.
Yes, I think Blythe Ruth sounds a bit odd, both of them are lovely names, though.
Zara is gorgeous.__________________________________________________

1. Caressa :) Carissa is too 80's but Caressa seems a bit more exotic, Caresse sounds dodgy
2. Blythe Ruth for me is difficult to say but it is still pretty
3. I prefer Zahrah actually, again it's more exotic than Zara but Zahra without the end-h looks a bit choppedAlice My favourite names: Anouk Lyra, Hazel Noelle, Nyah Iris, Freddy and Indigo
