Middle names for Marissa?

SuperCuteBenzSuperCuteBenz member
in Baby Names

This is premature since I can't TTC again for 2 months but anyway..

I love the name Isabella Kate, but DH does not like Isabella. So, we have picked Marissa for a girl's name. We want a shorter middle name.

Does Marissa Kate sound ok? Another choice was Mae (after my g gma) but DH thinks it sounds too country....

DD #1's middle name is Jane so that is out.

Thoughts?

    Not Mae.  Marissa Mae doesn't sound great together.  Marissa Kate sounds fine.

    I like Marissa Kate.  I agree that Mae sounds a little too country, although I like it on its own.

    I like Marissa Kate. Marissa Mae sounds too sing-songy for me.

    My mom has Mae as a middle name and so did my grandma who just passed away. My baby girl is due in May so we're using Mae as a middle name and are trying to find a M name for a first name. I don't think it sounds country. I like itSmile

    I like Marissa Kate a lot.   Also, I happen to know someone with the name Marissa Mae so it sounds cute to me!

    I have a friend who is Marissa Christine.  Not sure why but we all called her Marissa May/Mae.  I love the mn Kate, but I don't care for it with Marissa.  Marissa Leigh sounds pretty, I think.

    I hate nicknames as stand alone names, so no Marissa Kate.

    I like Marissa Claire or Marissa Anne.

    Kate is after my great-great-great grandmother. So, that is why we picked that. 

    Ann is my mom's middle name, and I do like Claire, so we may add those to our list.
