[Opinions] Re: Melissa and Alyssa and Clarissa
in reply to a message by )(
I find them all rather dated and over-ornate. I much prefer Clare to Clarissa and Alice to Alyssa, though I am fond of alyssum flowers; Melissa is sentimental in the extreme and if you look at the meaning, it is amazing that it is a translation of Deborah! Which is nothing if not tough.
