I am flattered and in love with this name! The actual meaning of it is just so lovely! And the mythology is sad. But this name is so pretty! MELPOMENE would most definitely make an elaborate and unusual first name for a daughter. If I had a daughter I would totally name her this because of its rich mythology and history! I am in love with this name! It’s been growing on me these past few days! And once I found out the musical meaning of it, I just couldn’t stop! Some friends I talked to recently said this name sounded like music to their ears! I think it does! And I agree with them. I’m considering naming one of my daughters MELPOMENE, possibly as a first or even a middle name! I am sad that this name is underused! Because it is magical!

It's sweet and graceful, like it comes from Heaven.
This name is very underused. It has the same feel to me as Penelope, a name that is popular. Probably because they have ties in mythology and they sound some what similar to me anyways. And plenty of nickname options as well.

Melpomene is very pretty. I like the association with mythology and she can always be Mellie.

I really love this name. I think it's beautiful, melodic, and has a magical feel and sound to it. I love the actual meaning, 'one that is melodious' / 'to celebrate with dance and song'. While I don't think I could ever give a future daughter this name as a first name, I would certainly consider it as a middle name. I think it would make a lovely and unusual first name, however, if you are someone who is considering it.Due to the meaning/etymology of the name, and the Muse's original patronage of Singing, I think someone who is themselves a singer/musician or who loves music might find this a lovely and fitting, if rather elaborate and unusual, name for a daughter. :)
I love the name Melpomene. I named my kitten that. I think Melpomene is especially nice, especially when paired with the middle name Andromeda. Melpomene Andromeda, a very beautiful and tragic name.
