Nissa (Neice-Ah)

My sister really likes it; I am not a fan.  Just wondering what others thought.

    It sounds like a nickname.

    And also makes me think of Narcissa Malfoy for some reason.

    I had a friend when I was younger called Naoise, pronounced NEE-sha, an Irish name obviously.I quite like that though of course it wouldn't suit most people outside of Ireland!

    I think Nissa sounds a bit lightweight if that makes sense. I like strong names for girls and this isn't. JMHO though.

    My friend names her daughter Nissa.  I really dont' care for it, I think it is as a pp said, it is more of a nickname than a 'real' name.

    Sounds like a nn for Denisa. And I would have guessed it was pronounced Niss-ah, not Niece-ah.

    I had a little girl in 2nd grade named Nissa and I LOVED the name (plus, she was adorable which probably made me like it even more). However, I did first want to call her Niss-ah before I knew it was Niece-ah.

    I think it is a pretty name, but I know it isn't for everyone. When I posted this name a long time ago (when I was still TTC) a lot of people on TB said it reminded them of Nissan.

    I don't hate it.  I would pronounce it nee-sa before ni-sa.  I prefer Vanessa nn Nessa.

    I have a friend names Nyssa.  (Nis-ah)  so a little different but similar.  I dont think it's terrible but nms.

    My mom's friend is named Niecea, (nee-sa). I always thought it was weird, but it sounds ok.

    I don't like it. It's too similar to Nissan.
