[Opinions] Melina

I really like the name Melina. It's so delicate and unusual. I have read that it means "canary" and "yellow," even though this website does not give that as the meaning.

Melina Caroline
Melina Catherine
Melina Frances
Melina Margaret
Melina Rose (even though I am not a huge Rose fan)

I love Melina, but I know that you probably know that and also why I love it. Melina stems from the Greek word meli meaning honey. From your list, I like Melina Catherine and Melina Frances the best.

I do quite like Melina actually. It's unusual without being really out there. Melina Rose and Melina Catherine get my votes.

Melina is nice, but the only association I have is the wrestler by the same name. Out of the combos you listed I like Melina Catherine best. Melina Eleanor might have a nice ring to it too.

Melina's certainly mellifluous; nevertheless, I'm not especially fond of the name.

I like it. I probably prefer Melana (MEL-ə-na) but Melina looks better IMO.

I have a cousin named Melina. I've always like the name, too.

Melina Catherine and Melina Frances are my favorite of all your combos.

I like Melina as well. Melina Caroline is beautiful. I also think that Melina Catherine sounds nice. Although Frances isn't my style, it also goes well with Melina. As for Rose, it's pretty, but overused as a middle name.
