[Username12345]

Out of these legitimate spellings, which do you prefer?

Melody, but quite like Melodie

Melody, very pretty.

Melodie, ok, but it's just a wrong spelling.

Melodi, dire, and quite medical sounding.

only ever seen it as Melody.

Melody.

Melody. Although I don't mind Melodie. Not Melodi.

Definitely not Melodi, for all the reasons everybody else said.

Melodi would be more culturally relevant but I prefer the look of Melodie. Maybe because I also like Elodie.

Love the way OP has made this ^ statement in the opening post

I think you know what everyone is going to say, hence that note to us all.
Anything other than Melody (if you are in the UK) is going to be mispelt for all of her life, which is a real pain when it is your own name.

User - in what way is Melodi more culturally relevant? It's a standard spelling in your home language, for example?

Backforgood Most names I will choose will be mispelt, as they wont be traditionally English names. I included the note so all the posts wouldn't be about made up spellings.

Yes Daisy.

Melody.

Speaking as someone with a name that can be spelt in various ways, you'd be doing your dd a favour if you gave her a name with only one spelling.

If Melodi is a word/name in your own language, then I think you're more than justified to use it if you want to, and I can see why you'd want to.

Melody

Are you Swedish OP?

Melody.

Nice name.

Why would you mess around with the spelling. The usual and most popular spelling is Melody...so spell it that way. If you spell it any other way the child will have to spell out her name her whole life.

Melody

100% Melody

Melody.

Do you just mean that in your home language, the word Melody would be spelled Melodi in order for it to 'fit' your language rules?

Or do you mean that in your language, Melodi spelled that way is a name?

If the latter, fine. If the former - no, it doesn't work like that for names, and you will find that it's just confusing for everyone and that speakers of your language will most likely think 'English derivation name' and spell it Melody anyway.
