In Poland, the standard form of this name is Melisa (me-LEE-sah). However it's a rare name because for a long time one of the naming rules over here was that you couldn't use a word as your child's name, so Melisa often wasn't allowed or not easily because melisa is the plant. There are 488 women with this name in Polish population, and 458 with the name Melissa. Last year (2018) Melisa was #122 in the baby name ranking for girls, and 26 baby girls were called this name, There were 24 Melissas and the name was #217. Nicknames could include Mela, Lis(s)a, Meliska, Liska, Melunia, Melusia, Meli, Melisia. I've seen on Polish baby name forums that many people seem to think it's a bit pretentious over here, especially with the two "s".

Never heard the mucousy thing before! LOL. My name is Melissa and I don't mind it. I think it sounds dated though because it was so popular in the 70's and 80's. But oh well.

I love my name "Melissa." Unfortunately, Melissa's are typecasted as villains or the male love interest's current girlfriend who lasts only for a few episodes into the show. This happens A LOT. ESPECIALLY IN OLDER MOVIES/SHOWS.The one I can think of off the top of my head is the girlfriend in "I dream of Jeannie."On the bright side, they are usually really pretty characters, enough to make the main female love interest insecure/jealous.
