For baby’s as sweet as a honeybee, you might want to consider the feminine name Lissa. As the short form of Melissa, Lissa has strong Greek roots and is related to the long-loved monikers Alyssa, Alice, or Larissa. It is believed to mean “bee” or “honeybee,” which might remind baby to stop and smell the roses from time to time. Lissa is also thought to mean “God is my oath,” making it a worthy contender for those who are hoping to raise baby in their faith.
