Melissa
- I've always liked the abbreviation "Missy", so Melissa seems to fit - it is also similar to Messiah, which I think gives that name an certain ring to it.
- Melissa Anne: I LOVE this combination. The name of my favorite TV anchor. I adore the nickname Lissa. It's so sweet, playful and spunky. Liss and Mel are also good. I can't stand Missy though. With Lissa as my favorite nickname it's absolutely perfect. Lissa Anne. So sweet! I used this name in a U.S. history project & it fit perfectly. I got a 100 too! :)
Melissa comes from a Greek word meaning "Bee."
