[Opinions] Re: Corisande
For some bizarre reason, Corisande reminds me of coriander. Which is crazy! I like the softer sound of Melisande myself, but both names are beautiful, and I wouldn't mind seeing either.Melisanthe sounds great, is it Greek? It reminds me a lot of Melissa.

I believe it is Greek. It fits with the Xanthe/Ianthe/Chrysanthe names. I'd never seen it before, and thought that perhaps it's a made-up compound name that used 'melis-' and tacked '-anthe' at the end. I haven't seen any evidence of it being a name with long-standing history and usage, but I haven't seen anything to the contrary, either.
