I like Nerissa. It's the same problem as Clarissa for me, though, that fluffy -issa ending, but I agree, the meaning and sound are pretty. WDYT of Nereida?

Nereida is also very pretty, though between the two I still prefer Nerissa.

I have always really, really liked this name. Actually, I had sort of forgotten about it for the moment!

I know a Nerissa...And that's how she says it. She has sisters named Athena and Diana--it's a cute sibset.Unfortunately, she spoiled the name for me--she wasn't exactly a palatable girl, for reasons too complicated to explain. (Like--you know, she was a perfectly good person, but we had issues for various reasons.)Array

it's not bad, but I'm not sure that it doesn't sound like a psychiatric problem...

It sounds a little fluffy, but I definitely think it could grow on me. Especially with that meaning and origin!~~~
