HelpRe: Melanie, Melody or Mallory? (more)
in reply to a message by Lily
1) Melanie, Melody or Mallory and why? I don't know that many Melanies but it still seems a bit 1980's popular to me. Mallory is cute but for me just doesn't have the same gorgeous sound that Melody does. I also have a friend named Melody who has really given me a wonderful image of the name.
2) Could you rank them from favorite to least favorite? Melody, Mallory, Melanie.
3) Please give me your impression of all three names (colors, images, what she'd be like, what her parents would be like, looks, associations with movie or book characters etc)
Melanie seems more of the popular girl, or an older mother type lady who wears 80's mom jeans but is pretty cool anyway.
Mallory is cute and spunky, a bit of a tomboy maybe and might try out for the cheerleaders.
Melody is gentle and mild-mannered but with beautiful dark features.
4) Have you ever met any girls with these names? I know a Mallory, she's strawberry blond with freckles and really cute and spunky. The Melanie I know is really sweet, a bit geeky quirky and has gorgeous brown curly hair. I know two Melodys, one is a lady with reddish hair, the other is my friend who is about 18-years-old and has dark eyes and hair and a slightly tanned skin tone.
5) Do you consider any of them to be dated? Melanie is a bit, also that's the one that is most likely to be nicknamed "Mel" I think. Melody is pretty current as it's never been overly popular. Mallory is a bit more 90's and early 2000's but it hasn't been used in a while so it's current.
As a side note, I think that Melody and Mallory could probably be used as sisters names if you liked both of them well enough. Melanie and Melody are the ones that are pretty much unable to be used together because they are so close. My friend Melody gets called Melanie sometimes because people mess her name up sometimes.

Funny that you mention it because I just thought that Melody and Mallory actually sound quite distinctive because of the D in Melody. I think they are still too similar for me, though. The ones I would never pair together are Mallory and Melanie. I actually know sister named this and think they are way too close.
