Listen to the way I pronounce it.

Marisa. [pause] Marisa.

Hear how the emphasis is on the middle syllable? Marisa. Because of that, the A's in my name are shorter in sound than they would be if the emphasis was different. Since they're a shorter 'ah' sound, there's no need for the H's to draw the sound out.
