How do you feel about the name Alessa.
Sort of like Alessandra Ambrosia & Alessa Gillespie (from Silent Hill).

It means Defender of Men, and it is Italian in orgin. I am italian and this is the ONLY name that I've found that is nice and italian sounding, but not too out there.

I absolutely love it, its definitely taken my top spot and has replaced Emily.

If we happened to have a boy and girl someday they'd be Alessa and Michael Sink.

It's okay but I definitely prefer Alessandra with that as a nickname.

Not my cuppa tea, but go with what you like.

"Alessa Sink" has too much sibilant sound in my opinion, but it does sound pretty.

I know a few little Italian girls named Alessia and I like that a bit better

Very pretty :-)
Glad it's replaced Emily.. Emily is so boring.

I think it is going to get confused with Alyssa. There are a lot of names that sound similar (even though they aren't related names)... Alicia, Alyssa, Elise, etc.

If that doesn't bother you then it's an otherwise lovely name!

makes me think of Alessandro Scarlatti, a baroque composer that i was forced to research in music school. most boring composer EVER!
