I've decided that in American English it would be MEL-liss-s'nd. A lot like Millicent but with Mel instead of Mil, and a soft d instead of a soft t at the end. That's the only way I can say it, and have it seem both natural and reasonably correct, and still like it.

I prefer Melicent or Melisend for usability where I live, because it comes out sounding almost the same, and it does not look as self-consciously French. But it might also seem less traditional. So, whichever.
