It's nice enough. It's better than Linda and Belinda. I've known two women named Melinda. One was my stepmother and she went by a nickname totally unrelated to Melinda and which was based upon her maiden surname. There were only two people in the world who called her Melinda, and they were her parents. I always thought it was a shame. The other Melinda was a friend of mine who went by Mindy and said that she hated her full name.
