My baby girl is due in 3 weeks. I’ve settled on the name [name]Karissa[/name], but dh isn’t on board with it yet!! >:(
Thanks!
I actually really like this name; it was on my (long) list of possibilities. Prefer with a C. Here are some alternatives:
[name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Cara[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Cassandra[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]/[name]Clara[/name]
Carianna
For middle names, [name]Jane[/name] sounds the best.
I like [name]Carissa[/name]. I love that it means grace in greek. [name]Carissa[/name] [name]Grace[/name] actually sounds great. I prefer it with a C. I’d say [name]Clarissa[/name] is close and has the same feeling as [name]Carissa[/name]. [name]Carina[/name] and [name]Cara[/name] (CAR-uh, not CARE-uh) are also other options. I think [name]Carissa[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is the best.
So pretty. It first got on my list in the French form, Carisse, which is easier to find non-“filler” middles for.
My sister’s name is [name]Karissa[/name] [name]Marie[/name]! I think [name]Karissa[/name] is a lovely name though personally I prefer it spelt [name]Carissa[/name] and my favorite mn from your list would be [name]Jane[/name]. [name]Carissa[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is spunky yet classic all at once
I love this name! “[name]Grace[/name]” is such a lovely meaning, and the name will definitely age well on your daughter. I’m in the minority, I guess: I prefer the K spelling because it looks more modern and to me seems to make more sense. That probably sounds weird, but I just think “[name]Karissa[/name]” looks right. Personally, I have known only two women by this name (one [name]Charissa[/name] and one [name]Karisa[/name] with just one S), so I don’t think your daughter will be one of 25 Karissas in her graduating class. In short: beautiful name, I like the K spelling. 
Good luck with your husband!
My sister has a fried names [name]Carissa[/name] and it is so confusing for me i always want to say [name]Clarissa[/name].
I have also seen it spelt [name]Corissa[/name] - maybe you could then get your hubby to agree by suggesting the nn [name]Cora[/name]?
I love [name]Carissa[/name], prefer it with a C. I think it is really feminine, I love the meaning and I just think it is beautiful. [name]Carissa[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is my favourite out of your choices, [name]Carissa[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is lovely too. For alternate names to [name]Carissa[/name], how about [name]Corinna[/name], [name]Carina[/name], [name]Cressida[/name], Karima?
good luck!
I really like it! I prefer it spelled with a C. Of your middle name choices, I like [name]Jane[/name] the best. Names I think are similar are
[name]Cassandra[/name]
[name]Carina[/name]
[name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Carys[/name]
[name]Calista[/name]
[name]Corinna[/name]
[name]Clorinda[/name]
[name]Marissa[/name]
I know 3 people with this name. 2 [name]Carissa[/name] and 1 [name]Charissa[/name]. I like the [name]Carissa[/name] spelling.
i like both variants
[name]Carissa[/name] sounds so sweet to me and for a middle name i like [name]Anne[/name] or [name]Marie[/name], a classic one
sorru but i don’t like how sounds [name]Clarisa[/name] [name]Claire[/name], maybe [name]Clarisa[/name] [name]Blaire[/name] would be better…
[name]Hi[/name]!
Which spelling do you guys prefer: [name]Carissa[/name] or [name]Karissa[/name]-- I prefer [name]Carissa[/name].
Thoughts on the name overall?-- I think that it’s pretty, but sounds a bit dated due to dated -issa names.
Better middle name?: [name]Marie[/name], [name]Mae[/name], [name]Ann[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Jane[/name]-- My favorites are [name]Carissa[/name] [name]Mae[/name] and [name]Carissa[/name] [name]Jane[/name].
Any similar names that I can switch to if dh doesn’t come around?-- I really like the previous suggestions of [name]Carys[/name], [name]Clarissa[/name], and [name]Cressida[/name]. [name]Cassia[/name], [name]Kerensa[/name], [name]Felicity[/name], and [name]Elysia[/name] have similar sounds…
Good luck!
