Help[Opinions] Melody/Melodie/Melodi
My mothers friend's wife is finally expecting again (they've tried for about 10 years!) and it's a girl. Due is in december.
They are going to name her Melody (I think it's this spelling, but I'm not sure). What do you think about it?
The also have a boy who is 12 but I don't know his name.
I think Melody is cute but I'm not really sure about how it works here in Sweden. In 2006 Melody was at place 439.

I just found 3 Melodys in some BA's [m]
I like it, but as a middle name.

I think Melody is a beautiful name. I like it best spelled that way. Obviously it is getting some use in Sweden, so it shouldn't be too out-there.

Question.
Melody is cute, but not at all my favorite. Congrats to them, though.
Does Sweden have certain names that are legal to name your children? I heard (from my boyfriend's aunt who lived in Norway and her children are both Norwegian) that in Norway there is a list of names that you can legally name your child. I wasn't sure if it was the same or not.

You cannot change your name to a name that causes offence or will lead to unpleasantness for the person who bears it. Nor can you take a forename as a surname or vice versa. You cannot take a hyphenated name as a surname, nor names that begin with af, de, von or similar. Your new name cannot be misleading to the public; it must not be possible, for instance, to confuse the name with the name of a railway station or a post office.
We cannot approve as surnames, whether invented or not, names that can be easily confused with:
A surname that someone else legally bears or has the right to bear
A generally known surname that has been borne by a family that has died out
A generally known foreign surname
Someone else's artistic or stage name that is generally known
A designation for a foundation, club, non-governmental (voluntary) organisation or any similar acronym
Someone else's business name or brand that enjoys legal protection in Sweden
A title of someone else's legally protected literary or artistic work

Melody is my given name and I've always loved it. I wouldn't want to change it. It is unusual without being too "out there". Pros: I've always gotten compliments on my name, almost every time I introduce myself. Cons: People tend to say "Melanie" instead of "Melody".

Melody's a fine name for someone else's kid, but it's never really appealed to me that much.
