[Opinions] Marisa or Vanessa?

I've been holding on to the name Marisa Giovanna for my second daughter, even though I have a long time before I even get married. But now I'm considering changing Marisa to Vanessa.

Both Marisa and Vanessa are characters from stories I've writen. I would rather use Vanessa because the names I'm giving to my other children, David, Rachel and Michael, are also characters in the same story. Please give me your opinion.

Marisa is a gorgeous name and it goes great with Giovanna, I think you should use Marisa :)

I go with Vanessa, just because I have better associations with it than I do Marisa.

I dont really like either, but i remember my uncle making fun of the name Vanessa by saying "Vanessa the Undressa"

I've never liked Vanessa; it's always seemed slightly stuck up to me. Marisa is much more modest and has a more appealing sound. I also thinks it sounds better with the other three names.

I'd pick Marisa simply because I prefer the name to Vanessa. As for the fact your other hypothetical children have names from the same story no one would really know that but you. But if you prefer Vanessa use it.

I like Marisa better simply becuase of personal preference, but if Vanessa would work better because of the characters you mentioned, go for that. I personally don't like Vanessa because of a snobby person I knew several years ago with that name.
