1) Melanie, Melody or Mallory and why? Melody - so sweet and charming in sound and meaning
2) Could you rank them from favorite to least favorite?
Melody
Melanie - I like this name, and think of Olivia de Havilland in GWTW but don't think it suits a blonde or redhead
Mallory - loathsome name, horrible meaning - why take this when Hilary or Valerie beckon?
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)
Melody - happy girl
Melanie - sensible girl
Mallory - I see Justine Bateman
All these names are warmish pinky red to me - synaesthesia means to me M is that colour and so are words that start with M
4) Have you ever met any girls with these names?
Melody - I have a dim recollection of one in another form at school
Melanie - yes, a friend of a friend,she's qualified as a doctor
5) Do you consider any of them to be dated? Melanie a tad '70snbut not so much to make it unusable
