I love Larisa, especially with Lara as the nickname. I loved Larisa for quite a few years until my Greek friend got me hooked on Larissa instead (I had a Greek SO at the time, so it made sense). In the last week I've been thinking about going back to my original plan of using Larisa because it reflects my Slovene heritage better. It is used in Slovenia along with Lara. Larisa was the name to turn me into a name nerd, so I'll be quite sad if I never get to use it. ;-)
As for Mercy, I don't really care for it, sorry.

You're the reason I fell for it. :-D

Here's my reason...
If you care to hear... ;-)
The movie and novel (Doctor Zhivago) that inspired my interest in the name were my teenage obsessions. They further developed my interests in cultures, geography, languages, and developed a new interest in names. The movie turned me into an old film buff and the poetry at the end of the book was my inspiration to write my own poetry. It sounds corny, but I seriously wonder how different I would be now if my mom had not invited me to watch the movie with her in the first place. I still love all of the interests I mentioned and I still write poetry. I also became a Greek name fanatic, which is also related to the whole Doctor Zhivago obsession, but more complicated to explain. All in all, Larisa is very reflective of me. I found out this past year that my grandma named my aunt/Godmother, Laura, after the character in the movie, Laura. Given the name similarities, I thought that was neat. It made me even more certain that I want to use Laris(s)a and Lara. :-)

Love Larisa.
On the comment board I saw LaRisa, and I think that's pretty cute too.
