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.

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!
