Mylisa Larsen: Hello. My name is Melissa Larson. The pronunciation trouble is usually with my first name, Melissa, which is unusual. My parents made it up, which is great creativity points and all that, but then they decided to pronounce it differently than they spelled it, and everyone's been confused ever since, even my grandmother. It's pronounced Melissa. Sometimes it helps to remember that it rhymes with Teresa, as in Melissa Teresa. So Melissa Larson.
