[Opinions] Re: Carissa
in reply to a message by Alcyone
I know, I never really got it either. The story is when she was little she played on a baseball team and thought Carissa sounded too girly so when she changed her last name from her step-dad's to her biological fathers she decided to change her FN (not on paper) too. Legally she is Kacie Francesca LN now. Personally I would have stayed Carissa Francesca OriginalLN because it just sounds so much better, but meh she loves her drama.

Hmmm... actually, as much as I like Carissa and Francesca individually, I would NOT put them together... Kacie Francesca (though I think Casey or even Kasey would be better) flows much more nicely and is less frilly... No wonder she thought her name was too girly... Francesca is super girly and Carissa though not as much sounds more girly when paired w/ Francesca to make it excessively frilly.
