Fn suggestions for mn Lissa? Or is it just bad?

coopsbaby

I really love to use family names for mn, but we just don't have very many to use, and most of the ones we do have we don't agree on. What do you all think of the middle name Lissa? My sister's name is Melissa, but she always goes exclusively by Lissa. In fact she had considered changing it legally, but since she has a phd with Melissa she elected not to.

Anyway, I love the thought but just can't come up with good fn's to go with. Ln starts with C, two syllables, and I tend to like pretty girly names, nothing too popular and nothing at all trendy. Help!

I like Lissa in that context. Use it!

How about Julissa as a fn. if not Lissa is cute as a middle name too.

I think Lissa would be a fine middle name and a great way to honor your sister! What kind of first names do you like? It will be easier to suggest fn ideas if you give us something things you like and/or dislike.

I think the meaning of the mn is more important than the flow of the fn & mn together. So I'd use it no matter what.

But if you're worried about flow, I think there are lots of names that would work. Mostly stay away from names that begin with L or end with A or have a prominent SS sound. Maybe
