[Opinions] Re: Melissa
in reply to a message by Lily8
I have a cousin called Melissa. She was born in the 80s and I've never come across anyone else with the name. She doesn't use any nn though.
I don't think Melissa is dated at all. It's really sweet and feminine sounding and would be perfect for a child today. I know it was really common in the 70s but I don't think of it as a fad name at all. A good nn would be Lissa or Lissy, Missy is okay, but definately NOT Mel or Mellie.
I don't like Melisa though. I prefer Elisa.
