I named my youngest daughter Alyssa Rose Jeraldaine(two middle names from my partner’s grandmother and one of mine) we mostly call her Lyss or Lyssa.
My name is Alyssa too, but people in my country pronounce iT like: alissa, aliesa, alysja (alicia), alyssia, alysia.
But my nicknames are;
Alysa (like african people), lyssa, Lysa, lysia, lyss, alys, aly, Ali, Elly, so much more XD
My names alyssa and I go by lyss I really like it haha
My names is Alyssa I’ve always wanted a nick name I go by Lyssa or Issy I love both!

AWW Lyssa
I don’t have a nickname besides what my family calls me but I don’t let them anymore,well they stopped,I do want a nickname though.?

My names Alyssa and people usually don’t pronounce the A and just call me Lyssa. But I have lots of nick names; Lyssie, lyss, Lyssie poo, Sha-lyssa, lyssa byssa, pissy lyssie, alywysa and alyisia. Some of them are little inside jokes but..
omg, my parents call me shalissa too, because my sis name sheyenna, (shy-ann-a) so she gets our name mixed up alot!
My name is Alyssa Jessica (middle name Jessica) and it’s a lot of S’s but it kind of flows nicely. I’ve always been called Lyss. It’s so much easier and quicker to say or explain the pronunciation of Alyssa and I almost hate being called Alyssa because I like Lyss better. Obviously some people extend it to Lyssie or Lyssa which i like also. :)
