I normally love Juli- names (Julia, Juliet, Julianne etc) but I just dont like the sound of this one, sorry.

Melissa is a lovely name and so is Julia so they would be my suggestions for an alternative.

I also prefer both Julia and Melissa to Julissa.

Jalissa or Jelissa might not bother me so much. It just sounds so heavy with that "u" in there. It's too tempting to pronounce it like you might Jewelissa. It's too much.

Alissa
Jaleesa (like from A Different World, I guess...)
Julienne
Juliane
Calista
Julisha
Jenessa
Janelle
Jolie
Juliet

Maybe one of the above keeps what you like about Julissa without sounding so much like a mashup?

I personally don't like Julissa at all. It just sounds and looks funny to me. I do however have a suggestion. My cousin's name is Jalissa and I think that is a very pretty name. Similar to Julissa, just looks and sounds prettier! Good luck!

Well, because the two names me and my dh were throwing around were Julia and Alyssa, I thought it may be doable but it's not really sticking with me either...
Jalissa is okay but looks weird to me too...
thanks!

I agree with the PP's- I don't like it at all. Have you considered any of the other options similar to Julissa that they suggested? I love Juliet personally. Marissa and Alyssa are two other options.

Oooo I love it. It sounds like a J name and Melissa mixed together. If we live far enough apart do you mind if I add it to my girl name list?

LOL...I don't mind at all. It seems you are one of the first to actually like it:) Most people are not giving me very good feedback about it.
Good luck with your names,

I just saw this name on VH1 I Love Toys.

I'm not crazy about it.

If you like it then go for it.
