Melody entered my remit years ago when I was a teenager. I only seemed to have one friend who was as interested as names as me and we were discussing them when I brought up Elodie. Her response was something along the lines of, "that's really weird, why not just call her Melody?"

Before this I'd never really considered it and just hung it up with other 'tacky' names such as Destiny, Trinity, Heaven etc.
However, I thought and thought about it and eventually came to like it, in fact really love it. It was my number one name for quite a while with the combo Melody Marie or Melody Mary.

I imagine a Melody to be a very sweet person; maybe not necessarily musical but possibly whimsical and rhythmic. Her parents are probably good people who love their children, possibly spoil them but set rules and have respectful relationships in the family.

---

People will probably find it tacky but there will be people who dislike every name for whatever reason they see fit - don't let it put you off.

Now Melody isn't as prominent in my favourites as it used to be. It dropped off my top ten completely for a while but now she's back, albeit lingering near the bottom.
