I'm with you. I love Marisa ("mahr-EE-suh") but fear the Marissa ("mahr-ISS-uh") pronunciation.

I don't think it's insurmountable. Once people are told this seems to be one that's pretty easily corrected. I wouldn't let it deter me from using it. Marisa is gorgeous. I've never been much of a fan of the "-issa" sound. (Melissa, Clarissa, etc.)
