Marisa or Marissa: Your Preferred Spelling
These two names have been baffling me as to why are there two spellings. So BtN, what spelling do you prefer and do you pronounce them the same?
Talk to her, don't leave her behind
You shut her out for too long
I guess I have found newer music that pleases me.

I prefer Marissa. I want to pronounce Marisa differently (ma-REE-sa).
I've got to agree on all statements in this post.
I pronounce them the same, but prefer Marissa. Marissa just looks more complete to me.
I like Marisa best. The two ss's don't make it a better name. It's good as it is.
I intuitively say them Marisa rhyme Lisa, and Marissa rhyme Melissa, also ... but I have known a Marisa who pronounces her name mar-ISS-sah. So I feel like I should wait and find out how any Marisa pronounces her own name. That's annoying enough to make me prefer Marissa! But other than that, I like both names... I would like Marisa more if it were reliably pronounced mar-REES-sa.
