Help[Opinions] Vanessa
in reply to a message by Felie
I love Vanessa and the nn's Ness, Nessa, and Nessie. Vanessa and Veronica are old favorites of mine.
Vanessa feels both studious and sexy. I always imagine a Vanessa being a strong independent woman. I usually imagine a woman with chestnut brown hair, olive skin, and rich brown eyes framed by long thick lashes. The personality of a Veronica is the same to me but I imagine her her cooler dark brown hair with fairer skin and blue eyes.
For -ssa names I also love Larissa/ Larisa and Marissa, although I slightly prefer Marisa - which is my name. A lot of people who I introduce myself to mishear my name as Melissa. It is a nice name, Melissa is just very common in my age group in the US. Melissa feels dated as a very 1970's and 1980's name. Vanessa on the other hand has never been popular enough to become dated.
I have always loved V names so I think it's pretty cool that my husband's surname - that I plan on sharing when I get around to it - starts with the letter V. The letter V has so much strength and life to it. It has always been one of my favorite letters.
All this thinking about Vanessa is reminding me just how much I love it. I forgot that Nessie could be a nn for it. I was just thinking the other day how much I love nn's like Tess, Ness, and Jess.

Dorothea, Marguerite, Aurora, Fiona, Leona, Artemis, Vivian, Hazel, Clara, Luna, Serafina, Adelina, Maeve, Iris, Callisto, Citrina, Ariana, Rosaria
