Do you like the name Melody?

[Iceladder]

She would be a Melody Violet? She's coming up to 6 weeks now.

It's awful. Like a cartoon character.

I think it is very pretty.xx

No.

I love it. My dd was very nearly a Melody.

of course.

Yes Gin!

or you could call her River...

I'm not a fan. Partly because it reminds me of the cbeebies program which is possibly the most annoying thing in TV.

Love it.

Love it.

I really don't like it, sorry.
Violet is fab though.

I love it - it was what DS was going to be called .

Melody Rose .

Sigh

I still want a Melody Rose

It's lovely

Objectively, it's a lovely name with a lovely meaning. However you will get a lot of people saying it's dated, because it does seem to have collected a very 70s vibe along the way, and a lot of people can't think outside the box.

But if you have the strength of mind to ignore them, then why not go for it - you might set a new trend!

If that's the name you want to call her then go with it!

I really like it, although not keen on Mel.

Elodie Violet sounds awesome. Less keen on Melody because I don't like Mel.

I like it! Although not keen on the nickname that comes with Melody, Mel.

My big sister is called Melodie but our mother is French so it has an accent over the è (it's a popular French name). Personally I love it but I've never known anybody else by that name.

I like it.

It doesn't seem too dated to me, because I don't know any Melodys. Melissa (Mel) seems dated though, and I suppose Melody risks getting shortened to Mel.

Although I think it'd be quite easy to insist on the full name.

My neice is Melody. My sister had wanted Elodie but her dh wasn't keen so they compromised. I think she should have stood her ground. Elodie Violet is great!

No.
Nor Melanie nor mel nor melamine

I think it's really pretty, and know of another baby called Melody whose parents are in a band so very fitting.

My dd has a similar sort of middle name (Harmony) and I do find it's a bit of a marmite name. We like it though and that's what matters.

Like it but love Elodie Violet!

It's not a name I'd like to be called. I love Violet though.

Another one saying Elodie Violet is fab. Melody is lovely too though so if your prefer that then go for it! Nothing wrong with having lived with a name for c. 6 weeks and decided against it though. A friend's DD was named Alicia on the bc but 6 months later they were fed up with people misprouncing (they wanted Aliss-ee-a, but many would say Aleesha) and changed it to Verity!
