I have this idea for a story that involves medieval stuff, so I spend time trawling through wikipedia's lists of medieval people, cherry-picking names. I come across Melisande every now and then, and I really like it. It's a perfect princess name. I think it's very usable in real life, certainly just as much as Millicent.

NNs could be Mel, Meli, Melis, Sandy, Sandra?

I like Melis.

princessy - I like that.
DH suggested Melisande Reyna on the way home (Reyna is Queen in Tagalog, in Spanish too I think).

Ooh, that is pretty! Melisende (slight spelling variation) was actually the name of a queen of Jerusalem :)
