Opinions on the name "Melody".

[SearchingForThePerfectName]

Hey MN,

DH, and I, came across the name "Melody" - she can then have the NN of "Mel", but still have a beautiful/slightly quirky name!

Opinions?

Lovely name, friends DD called Melody, she's 12 and never had an issue with it and likes her name.

I knew twins, Melanie and Melody, so it seems a by naff to me and very late 1970s.

I think it's a really pretty name, I also love Elodie (Ellie or Elle) for short which is very similar.

I really like it - it's very pretty, but 'normal', and underused. I quite like the NN (Mel) but I'd probably try and use the actual name go for it! Elodie is nice, too...

I love Melody, but really don't like 'Mel' (it sounds masculine to me).

Melody is pretty, beautiful, nice soft flow.

I Love it. It's in my top 5 but the only thing that puts me of is the nn Mel

Dr Who...

I have a friend with this name. She is in her words tone deaf with the voice of a foghorn and despises it. She goes by her middle name. It's tough when you have a name that has such a well known meaning I think

My cat's called Melody. She's Parisian and was named after Melody Nelson. I wanted to call her Clawdine but got out voted.

I really like it. I also like Elodie but there are so many Ellies around I'd be inclined to stick with Melody.

Hate it, sorry.

Melody is top of our list for any future baby girls, my OH is very fussy but he absolutely adores it. He's wants to call her marshmallow as a nn. I love the nn 'Mellie', not such a fan of 'Mel' though, I can see 'Liddy' becoming a nn out of it too.

I like that it's a bit unusual and secretly I love that the Little Mermaid's daughter is called Melody too haha.

I certainly don't think it's prissy or wet though, but then I wouldn't because I like it

I love it, if I have a girl, she'll be Grace Melody
