Nyssa

It sounds cool! Very girly-sounding to me!

Ugh. So melodramatic and prissy-sounding.

Nyssa is exactly the kind of flowery name I would see on a character in a high-fantasy novel, which is why I love it.

My brother has a girl named Nyssa in his drama group, pronounced NEE-SA. I'd never heard of the name before and thought it might have been a new and made up name, but apparently not.

My parents pronounce it Nee-suh and I really like that about my name because it's really unique and everyone calls me different things and it's interesting to see everyone's interpretation of it. My mom chose it because it means "the beginning" in Greek and I'm her first child. I really love my name. I really hate complimenting anything about myself but it just sounds so pretty and rare that I feel like my name is just perfect.

This name is one of my favourite ones. I saw it for the first time in one of Rick Riordan's books, named The Lost Hero. His Nyssa is daughter of Hephaestus. Also, I am writing books and one of the main characters is named Nyssa (she is emo).

I love the way this name looks, but I'm not sure how it's pronounced.

Minimalist rubbish, and not pretty at all.

Such a pretty name, very elegant. I like the pronunciation KNEE-sa.

This is one of the most beautiful names I have ever had the pleasure to hear. It is so sweet, well, just beautiful. :)

I LOVE this name! It's SO pretty!
