I love it and keep coming back to it.

Have been told it's "chavvy" (hate that word) ?

Love it! Hate the nickname Mel though for personal reasons x

pljftu · 18/12/2022 11:45

I dislike Mel too, for personal reasons. I like Melly:Mellie

I actually like it. DNephew was at nursery with a Melanie.

Martialisthebestpup · 18/12/2022 11:48

Is your last name Pond? :)

DuchessOfSausage · 18/12/2022 12:02

It's better than Aria. She'll be Mel. Melly is too close to Ellie and Smelly

Jellyjam36 · 18/12/2022 12:08

I like Melody and don't see it as chavvy at all. Melanie also lovely. I think Mel is a fine NN I know two Mels both lovely people.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 18/12/2022 13:22

I like Melody. I wouldn't shorten it at all.

DuchessOfSausage · 18/12/2022 14:05

You wouldn't but others will

ofwarren · 18/12/2022 14:14

I like it a lot

Nimo12 · 18/12/2022 14:14

It's not chavvy at all. Lovely name and one I'd consider too

Eatentoomanyroses · 18/12/2022 14:52

It was on my list. Dh vetoed it. I like it.

Luredbyapomegranate · 18/12/2022 20:21

I wouldn’t because she’ll be called Mel which is horrible

Allegra ?
Verity?

NeedAHoliday2021 · 18/12/2022 20:24

I prefer Elodie because I prefer Elle or Ellie to Mel.
Interestingly none of my dc go back nicknames and their full names have stuck (they’re 11-14 years old).

CorpusCallosum · 18/12/2022 20:27

It's a lovely name but if you hate a particular Nick name there's a 100% chance that is what she will be called so I'd count it out for that. Also, Smelly Melly..... please don't do that to your daughter 💔

WildImaginings · 18/12/2022 20:31

I like it.
Also like the shortening to Mellie although others seem to not like this- reminds me of the character on Scandal!

Choconut · 18/12/2022 21:15

I like Melody but prefer Elodie. I wouldn't shorten Melody as I think the nn's sound a bit chavvy whereas Melody doesn't.

Snoopystick · 18/12/2022 21:16

It’s lovely.

Spellegrin · 18/12/2022 21:25

I don't like the name at all, but love the song

Spellegrin · 18/12/2022 21:28

oops sorry...I pasted the wrong link and can't delete it. shit

grumpycow1 · 18/12/2022 21:31

There is a show on CBeebies called Melody with an annoying theme tune ‘ Melodyyy melodyyy’ so if you don’t mind people potentially singing that! It’s the first thing I thought of…

Elodie is lovely

MarmiteCoriander · 18/12/2022 21:42

I think its fine. I also like Melanie and Melinda.

If its the 'ony' ending sound you like, what about Harmony?

CatchHimDerry · 18/12/2022 21:46

Melody I like … Mel would be a no for me though so it’s a tough one!

Oneandabean · 22/12/2022 23:50

I don’t think it’s chavvy but I don’t think it’s a nice name. Strangely though I think Elodie is really nice
