I really loathe it. I don’t like -issa endings. They feel frilly and prissy to me. And
Alyssa is particularly whiny. I think of a spoiled child, though one from the 90s.
I like
Alison best of the
Alice names. I find
Alicia repulsive when said with an American accent. Leesh. Yuck. I think to me
Alicia is even worse than
Alyssa, even though it feels more “legitimate.”
