Help[Opinions] Re: Carissa
in reply to a message by Tuesday
Karissa is a name I added to my favorites last year. I like the K spelling better, which I don't usually do. Probably because the C spelling reminds me too much of the word caress, which is icky; and also it seems harsher or more casual with a C. But I still like it with a C, just not as much.
I think it's a graceful name, more grown up than Carys, less prissy than Marissa or Clarissa but not as dark as Nerissa. I guess Carissa / Karissa was a fad in the 90s and is now totally over, but I was never aware of it as a fad, so that doesn't bother me.
I wouldn't spell it Carisa because that looks like ka-REES-a to me, not ka-RISS-a.
I also like Calissa (with a C this time).
