Whether you're naming a baby, or just all about names, you've come to the right place! Appellation Mountain is a haven for lovers of obscure gems and enduring classics alike.
The pronunciation could be tricky. Is it NYE-sah or NIS-ah? Also, I think this is a name where accent could play a huge part in how the name works. It reminds me of Nike & I don
Dr. Who sounds like Quantum Leap. Mmm, Scott Bakula…
Wait a minute, I’m so off track. I like Nyssa, but have long liked Nessa, which was a name from a Maeve Binchy book. Is Nessa an Irish name or is it purely a diminutive for Vanessa?
In terms of nature names, I’d do Aven before Nyssa or Nessa. If I were having more children after this. Which I’m not. Period. 🙂
