Larissa

It's an old favorite and I was trying to come up with a middle name for it. What do you think of Larissa Rosa ? I really like it but I dont care for Larissa Rose because it just seems to bland.

Also, wdyt of Victoria Amy? I think it's very 1800's.

I love Larissa-it's my daughter's name. Larissa Rosa is ok, but the double "sa" endings are a bit much. Middle names I was considering:

Larissa Brooke
Larissa Cathleen
Larissa Catharine
Larissa Hope
Larissa Joelle
Larissa Louise
Larissa Suzanne (my favorite, but her initials would have been LSD)
Leslie, lucky mommy to Scott (2000), Delaney (2002), and Larissa (2005)

I don't really like the combo Larissa Rosa, sorry. I just don't like the flow and sound of it.

Victoria Amy is alright, but I'd prefer Amy Victoria.

I love Larissa, it's been my favorite girls' name for over 10 years now. I hope to use it someday. Larissa Rosa is nice. My favorite combo is Larissa Anastasia. I tend to like it with other Greek names.

Larissa Rose sounds better than Larissa Rosa, but I don't care for either. I like the combination someone suggested, Larissa Catherine.

I don't particularly like Victoria Amy. Amy just seems very fn-ish to me and they don't flow together.

How about Larissa May and Victoria Amy? Both are pretty imo. I personally dislike the name Rosa. It doesn't flow very well with Victoria either.

I like Larissa but not Rose or Rosa. I don't like Victoria Amy. It doesn't flow and I dislike both names.

Larissa Rosa is pretty-a bit sing-songy maybe. But I love Larissa.

Victoria Amy is great!

I like Larissa, but I dislike it with Rosa because of the double A endings. How about Larissa Rosalyn?

I know it's one of our poster delaney04's daughter's names, but I couldn't find what she used as a mn.

I had Larissa Brooke set in stone, but when it came time to fill her paperwork out at the hospital my Dh said "You know, I really hate Brooke Shields, I don't want to use Brooke." *Rolls eyes* He wanted an L middle name so she'd have the same initals as me. Lauren was all we could come up with in a hurry.

Larissa is nice, Larissa Rosa maybe a bit much, what about:
Larissa Claire
Larissa Violet
Larissa Pearl
Larissa Jade
Larissa Hope
Larissa Nicole
Larissa Elise
Larissa Maeve
Larissa Paige
Larissa Kate

Victoria Amy is very 1800's and would also be just adorable on a little girl today! I do like Amy Victoria a bit better since Amy is my favorite girls name but either way is nice! :)

Waltzing thru the flower bed!
If I were tiny, just like you,
I'd dance among the flowers too!
