a. I like it, but I associate it with a not-exactly-savoury character, and so I'd never use it.
b. Certainly, it holds up on its own!
Alessandra (though my preferred spelling is Allisandra) is fine, but
Alessa has a charm all its own.
c. I think that
Liora and
Alessa "match" more, but
Norah and
Alessa appeal much more to me tonight.
I'll think on MNs for you--none are coming to mind for me. :)
