WDYT of Melanie? I'm starting to like it. How would it be with the middle name Elise? What sort of vibes does the name evoke in you?

I am not a fan either. I always think of a kind of trashy-looking girl, unfortunately. I think because of the first Melanie I ever met.

Its very 80s to me...fits right in with the Tiffanys and Stephanies I went to school with.

Melanie also makes me think of a "melon" and I dont think thats a very good first thought to have

It's okay. The girls I knew named Melanie were kind of mean.

I don't mind it, although like the PPs said it kind of reminds me of mean girls from school. Seems the melanie I knew was mean. I know a melanie now though that is really awesome.

I think Melanie Elise goes really good together.

I think Melanie is really pretty. Not a fan of Elise, though.

It's really dated to me, like it peaked in the '80s.

I agree, Melanie = 80s mean girl.

It's not my style, but it's a perfectly nice name. I don't have any gut reactions upon hearing it.

I'm reminded of Melanie from Days of Our Lives and I cannot stand her. She's awful.

I think it's pretty, definitely very 80s though.

I love it and I think it sounds great paired with Elise. I had a good friend growing up named Melanie. She was this cute little red head, one of the few people I know who was shorter than me. I keep hoping she'll pop up on Facebook someday because I lost touch with her and I'd love to know what she's doing. She was a real sweetheart so I get a great vibe with that name.

I think Melanie is very pretty. It makes me think of Melanie Wilkes from Gone With the Wind.

80s. I don't like it; it's boring, very blah.

I like it. I've never really known any Melanies, but it feel like a very sweet name to me.

My first thought is I don't like the long E of Melanie going into the long E of Elise. But people wouldn't be calling her Melanie Elise all the time, I guess. It's not horrible, but not my taste at all.
