Nerissa is such a beautiful name it reminds me of a well spoken beautiful honourable lady or socialite from the 1920s/30s. I can imagine a Nerissa holding grand parties in a large English country house filled with attractive and erudite finely dressed people.
Nerissa Bowes-Lyon was a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. She and her sister Catherine were confined to a mental institution for their entire lives due to their intellectual disability. They were hidden to protect the reputation of the royal family. The sisters were featured in a recent episode of the television drama "The Crown".
That is my name. I love that my mother named me this, it is a unique (like me), and I am very proud to have it. My mother just wanted to me to have a different name and I am so happy she did.
I have a best friend called Narissa. And NO the Disney film Enchanted did NOT make up the new spelling. Narissa is 11 years old, much older than the film.
Disney aren't the type of place that makes up name spellings, they may find it from somewhere or even the producer's or writer's daughter could be called Narissa.
