Comment left Aug 10, 2009: "Aha, there you are. I myself even pronounce it wrongly. I am a vanessa, and the name was given by a foreigner who taught me English. But, since then I've seldom used the name. Once a colleague called me by this name as "v-er-n-ee-s-er' (in a real sweet voice), then i piked it up. Only days ago, American friend said it should be pronounced as it is: v-er-n-e-s-er. BTW, I am happy about this name, since told that it is a butterfly (beautiful and lovely creature) and it may mean what Venus means..." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Feb 14, 2009: "I LOVE my name. I know a lot of people say it means butterfly, but all the baby name books I have read say it was a name made up by Jonathan Swift for a character in one of his books. My mom first heard the name when her friend's sister was born and fell in love with the way the name melodically rolled of the tongue. About seven years later she gave the name to me. Besides the classy sound of the name, another perk is all the nicknames I get. A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but the name Vanessa makes a girl extra tantalizing. - Vanessa Clare" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Dec 09, 2008: "I love my name but a lot of people get it mixed up. People think say Jennifer, or Melissa? I dont know why. Someone even thought I said Evanescence. Maybe I just said Vanessa wierd? haaha but anyway I love it and i feel different and exotic with it. like someone said ealier all the beautiful and bad girls are named vanessa. and for the record vanessa does not mean butterfly. a genus of butterfly was named after the name vanessa. someone made up the name vanessa for a lady named esther van- something. I am named after my grandmother whose name is esther. I also love my nick name which is sasa, or just sa. its very unique and love to tell people my name is sa. haha" (Report as inappropriate)
