Sadly, the trendee moms can butcher any name. Actually, it can be fun to try and make your own name trendy. Add random y's, h's and apostrophes. Also add extra e's and i's.
This looks like it should be pronounced Melly'-sah, not Mel-lis'-ah.
This exactly! I thought my name (Monica) couldn't really be butchered, sure some people spell it with a k which is fine sine in some countries that's how it's spelled... but I have actually come across a Manaca posted on here so... yeah...
as a Melissa... I hate Melisa and Mellisa, but will accept Malisa (only because of the blue singer and that's how my great grandma with a 4th grade education spelled my name!)
and since teachers always called me Michelle in school. I hate Michele!
and poor girl. Smelly Melly! Didn't her parents think of that?
