Yes, thanks - but I believe the name Melina has more to do with greek "meli" ("honey", from which the word and name "Melissa" and the name "Pamela" are derived) than with "melon".
Having said this, given that the italian word for "honey" is "miele", and "Melina" literally means "little apple"; it makes me think more of apples than of honey.
