HelpRe: can you come up with a mn? And do you think people would give a (in my opinion) horrible nickname?
in reply to a message by Tieliebirds
I absolutely love the sound of Melissa, and resent that it was so overused in the 80s and that I've known a fair few annoying or ditsy ones. I might still use it anyway - it's on my "wavering favourites" list!
My best friend in primary school was Mellisa Joan, and we called her Missy, but I prefer Lissy as a nn for Melissa. Mel is nmsaa.
Hmm . . .
Melissa Jean
Melissa Charlotte
Melissa Rose
Melissa Katherine
Melissa Kathleen
Melissa Therese
Melissa Kate
Melissa Rachel
Melissa Hannah
Melissa Faith
Melissa Joy
Melissa Naomi
WDYT? I think I like Melissa Kate or Melissa Joy the most.

Hi Chrisell!! Whoa, this is so weird... I'm used to people here hating the names I like. But I'm persistent in posting them! LOL it's nice, every once in a while, to have someone like the same name. As for Missy, I don't think PEOPLE named Missy are bad or ditzy, I just don't like it, I think because it's what some people call little girls when they're being bad (or call adult women to degrade them). Like, "You'd better stop hitting your brother, little missy!". Anyway, I liked your suggestions, especially Melissa Kathleen. My great grandmother's name was Kathleen and I've always liked it. Plus, I've always liked double names and Lissie Kate sure would be cute (as a nickname when she was little) or Melissa Kate if she went to school with another Melissa.

Lissy Kate is very sweet :-)
My family never used "missy" that way but my stepmother does to her daughter so perhaps that's why I dislike it (I don't get along with her at all).
I'm hoping to one day name my first daughter Jean, after my grandmother, and I have a constantly rotating set of "frilly" middle names to go with it (Elisabeth, Isobel, Cecily and Meredith being the usual ones). I think Jean Melissa might have to be added to the list!
