Good Luck!
I like both names but prefer Alyssa since the middle name starts with a consonant.
I like Marissa more to begin with, although I like Alyssa also. But if Lynn is a necessity, that's not a good match with Alyssa. Lys Lyn - same sound. too close together.
Lynn is just such a common blah middle name - was way overused as a middle name back from the 50s up till almost the 90s I'd say.
if it's not an absolute necessity for a family member, I'd say try to find another middle name. If it is for a family member, you could spruce it up a little - Marissa Lynelle, Marissa Lynette, Marissa Lynae - although I prefer that spelled Lanae.
here are some middles I think would go with either one if you can be talked out of Lynn:
Corinne, Caitlin, Colleen, Danielle, Gisele, Janelle, Joelle, Jade, Janae, Jolene, Kathleen, Nicole, Noelle, Paige.
for Alyssa only - Michelle, Maureen, Megan, Monique, Renee
good luck
