As an author, Larissa is one of the names of the girls in my story, and slowly, the character builds, into a name that I love. It is strong, and sweet. Incredible name.

This is a nice name. It's cute on a child and also ages well. I can see an adult going by Larissa - it sounds mature.

I guess it sounds okay. I prefer Clarissa or Marissa though.

I don't like this name very much. To be honest, the original 'Larisa' was more preferable.

I'm not really sure why I like this name, but I think it has something to do with the "L" at the beginning. I think it rolls off the tongue easier than Karissa or Carissa. I also like Clarissa.

While I actually like Marissa, and Melissa is so common that it sounds mature to me, this name, along with Carissa and Clarissa, just sounds really girly and youthful. It sounds too cutesy for a grown-up, somehow.

From what I have researched Larissa appears to mean 'Ocean' in Greek, maybe that's where the 'seagull' connitation came into being. Anyhow okay name.
