What do you think of the name Melora?

We have our names set, obviously, but we heard this today and thought it sounded nice. It's the name of Melora Hardin, the woman who plays Jan on "The Office" and that makes it extremely appealing to me because I like the actress. Thoughts? Any background on the name?

I really don't mean this to sound harsh or anything but it sounds like a drug/something medical to me.

It's very pretty- it reminds me of the girl from Rasputina.

I had never heard the name until it was used in Ghost World. The character of Melora is annoyingly perky and treated by the main characters as a big joke, basically. Since that's the only place I've heard the name, that's how I always think of it. It's sorta pretty, but I can't hear it without picturing that girl.
