Marisa

Comments (Pronunciation Only)

This is my name. All my life it has been mispronounced and as I get older (I'm 55) I find that I have less and less patience for it. I am tired of being called Marissa. I finally decided to put it in my email signature at work. People get to declare their pronouns - why can't I state how I want my name pronounced? My boss named her daughter Marissa but spells it with one S. She knows what my name is but constantly mispronounces it and introduces me with the wrong name. This bugs!

The Italian pronunciation (at least, standard pronunciation) is not mah-REE-sah but mah-REE-zah. [noted -ed]
