What about Mellow?

[wellthisisasurprise]

She’d be Mellie a lot too... is Mellow too hippy?! Second name begins with M so love the flow...

Ooh and Mugwump!

She'd get called Mel
Like all Melanies are, and end up bog standarding it to avoid the funny looks.

Melissa? (bit fussy for you maybe)
Mindy
Margot
Merle

Im sure the op is long gone, but speaking as someone with a 'Mel' name if you nn your child Mellie they will become smelly Mellie. I'm 45 and my family still call me Smelly or Smell, my nieces and nephews call me auntie smell .

Someone suggested Mallory, I love that, and Mally doesn't rhyme with anything negative.

OP
Seriously, you'll scar a child for life giving her a 'name' like this. Can you imagine someone greeting her with a common every day word like hello?

"Hello Mellow" ..... awkward

Maybe put the word "Mellow" into a Thesaurus and see if it gives you an alternative "name"?

I see the point about "what makes a name" but I'm unlikely to call my baby "Chilled" or "Laidback".

I've heard worse names. Go for it if you like it. She can always shorten it to Mel or have a nickname if she wants to.

I also saw that you like the names Molly and Georgie. I think they'd be fine as girls names, but I understand wanting a unique name.

Other alternatives...

Milla
Mila
Melanie
Mena
Melody
Melodia

Melissa
Mirabelle
Maraya
Marcie
Magda
Marta
Miriam
Miranda

Your having a person, that person will become an adult. Mellow...good grief.

Lmao at the overdramatic flailing flounce

How about Meryl? Not many of those about.
I'm sorry but Mellow isn't even a name is it?? x

Posted before I read OP's update. Don't ask for an opinion then be stroppy when people give you a reply you don't like.
The world is a big place not everyone will agree with you! That's life! That's individuality!!!!!

It's unusual I'll give it that! I think Mel as Nn brings it back down to earth if she wanted you might like Meadow as well.

Oh lovely, a flouncer. Mellow is not a name and if it was it's still horrible.
I think the OP is looking for a 'yoonique' rather than unique name - big difference.

Thank you to those who enlightened me about Mellie Grant.
Melody is a beautiful name.

Amelie (Mellie)

but that is not a unique name it is a random fucking word why not call your child Kettle or Shoe?

And if you are so set on being young and cool and want to saddle your poor child with a ridiculous name that will end up with them being taken the piss of for the rest of their lives and other parents think you a try to hard knobhead you will really need to grow a thicker skin than you clearly have.

I've heard worse names.

But probably not that many.

Marley

I know a Meli (not a nickname).

Mary
Meredith
Merilyn
Melisande
