Marisa

I don't like this name, it reminds me of a lady who gives out toothpaste on Halloween.

My name is Marisa and I really like it. My parents say it means "sea" and we pronounce it like Mer-isa. It's a very pretty name I'm glad to have it!

I think the name Marisa is beautiful! It reminds me of the equally lovely and timeless Maria. Marisa also has a beautiful meaning and it works well in many languages.

It's really pretty and it ages well. I actually prefer this over Marissa.

Reminds me of an old lady.

My first name is Marisa and just wondered about it. Oddly my favorite place in the world is by the sea or just water in general. I ❤️ my name.

This is my daughter's name. I named her Marisa because it was always my favorite name. It is always misspelled with 2 S's. I knew this would happen and I still spelled it with 1 S to be different and I liked the way it looked better. My name is Chasity with 1 T so I'm used to that. Coincidentally, one of my daughter's best friends is also named Marisa, but we usually don't hear of it a lot. We pronounce it Muh-riss-uh but I sometimes like to say it the Spanish way to her because it sounds so pretty.

Totally love this name. My grandma named me after her favorite cowboy, John Wayne's, daughter. I don't see it spelled the way I spell it. Which makes it even more unique... Merissa.

It is also my name, and I love it because I have only met one other girl who pronounced it and spelled it the same as I do. I pronounce it Ma-Ree-Sa. But many mispronounce it as Ma-Riss-a. I don't get offended, and don't bother correcting them. Even my aunt used to mispronounce it as Ma-Riss-a which was shortened down to the nickname I had as a child (Rissy).

This is my name and I have always loved it. :) I pronounce it MUH-RIS-UH, so pretty much a variant of Marissa. I do like my spelling much better though. I love my name because it is feminine and beautiful. But also, fairly rare and unique without going over the top. A perfect name for a girl, in my opinion. ;)

This is my name, and I used to hate it. I always wanted to be named something like Sophia or Hannah but now I really like my name. It really suits me because I'm Italian. A lot of strangers, when they ask what my name is, say that I have a very pretty name.

I really like this spelling, not Marissa. Marisa (MA-REE-SA) is how I prefer it pronounced. Very pretty name.

This is my name, but I spell it marissa. I don't know why, but to me Marisa looks more Spanish than Italian, and I think it would be pronounced ma-ree-sa, whereas marissa is pronounced ma-riss-a :)

This is my name and I absolutely love it! It is strong, formal and elegant but still has a contemporary fresh vibe about it!
I am proud to have this name (pronounced mu-RISS-uh).

For some reason, the name Marisa seems somewhat forced to me. I prefer the plain and simple "Mary".

I love this name because it is mine! I usually pronounce it Ma-RIS-a but sometimes Ma-REE-sa. It is more unique than most names.

This name is so pretty! Only when pronounced (ma-ree-sa) though. :P

I like this name, and prefer this spelling to others I have seen like Marissa or Marrissa. I have a friend named Marisa, and we sometimes call her "Risa" for short.

I like this name pronounced Ma-reesa.

Very beautiful name, I heard it was a form of Maris.

I love the name Marisa (well, luckily I do, it's my name!). It's unique, but not too unique, and sounds feminine and pretty. I am very proud to have this name.
