I have known about four people named Marisa (one was spelled her name Merissa). They are either late teens or adults now. I knew another who is middle aged. I don't know if I have met a Marissa (with this spelling). All of them pronounced their names as Mah-rissa. Two were of hispanic decent but they still said Mah-rissa even though most people of hispanic decent say Mah-ree-sa. I tend to say Mah-rissa for either. I prefer this pronunciation over Mah-ree-sa but both are nice.
