As an author, Larissa is one of the names of the girls in my story, and slowly, the character builds, into a name that I love. It is strong, and sweet. Incredible name.
Larissa Mabel Riquelme Frutos, usually known as Larissa Riquelme is a Paraguayan model and actress from Asunción. She is one of the highest-paid models in Paraguay. A famous model and actress in Paraguay, Riquelme rose to international prominence during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. A supporter of both the Paraguay national football team and the club Cerro Porteño, she was first pictured in international media celebrating a goal during the game between Paraguay and Slovakia with her Nokia mobile phone between her breasts and she was wearing a t-shirt with Paraguay's colors. Riquelme is the face of the deodorant brand Axe in Paraguay and at a later Paraguay game in the World Cup she was also seen with the word "Axe" written on her chest as advertising for the deodorant brand.
Larissa de Macedo Machado, known by her stage name Anitta, is a Brazilian recording artist, songwriter, and dancer. Anitta garnered international fame in 2013 after releasing her debut single "Show das Poderosas".
I'm not really sure why I like this name, but I think it has something to do with the "L" at the beginning. I think it rolls off the tongue easier than Karissa or Carissa. I also like Clarissa.
While I actually like Marissa, and Melissa is so common that it sounds mature to me, this name, along with Carissa and Clarissa, just sounds really girly and youthful. It sounds too cutesy for a grown-up, somehow.
Larissa Hodge is the name of Bootz on Flavor of Love season 2, even though I'm quite sure none of you guys know or even heard of what that is. But Larissa is still a very pretty name.
