Anissa

Great alternative to the way more common names Alyssa and Allison.

This is my name :D with a name like this you'll never get lost in a crowd (or however the saying goes).

I don't exactly remember where I heard this name but I love it! It's unique and pretty.

Looks rather snobbish, and reminds me of aniseed, which I dislike.

My name is Annissa. With double N and double S as well. There are a million girls named Anissa, Anissa, or Nisa in Indonesia. But with double N and double S, I guess it's only me, lol. I like my name.

My name on my birth certificate is also spelled Annissa- they made a mistake when they printed it on there... my mom spells it Anissa- that's the way I prefer it as well. I never had it changed on my birth certificate though.

My name is Anissa. I am Italian, Polish and Hungarian. My mom heard this name when she was young and liked that it was different and pretty. Growing up as Anissa in the midst of Jennifers and Lindas was difficult at times. Over the years I grew into my name and appreciated it being unique. Most common comments over my 48 years is, your name is different, so pretty..

My name is Anissa. I am Puerto Rican and not of Arabic origin. My mom named me after she read an article in the newspaper about a girl named Anissa. She was looking for something Hispanic sounding but not common. I've met 2 Anissa's in my life and a few with different spellings. Since it is not a common name, people do tend to mispronounce it and misspell it quite often. At the end of the day I wouldn't trade my name for the world!

Hideous. The only -issa name I like is Marissa, and Melissa is so common it's tolerable, but the other ones sound so girly and immature, as does this. At least Carissa, for instance, sounds prettier than this ugly name.
