What do you think of the girl's name Melanie? Does it age well? Is it too popular or too weird, or just right? What kind of girl do you imagine when you think of the name? Etc. etc. All opinions are appreciated. Please be completely honest! We are thinking of using the middle name Brooke. Thank you!!

I think Melanie is beautiful and will age well. I don't hear it that often on young girls ( a plus! ), but I work with a Melanie who is in her 30s.

My first thought was that it was a tad outdated. I know of quite a few Melanie's my age (18) and older, but very few younger. After thinking on it, it is growing on me. It would be sweet on a little girl.

I think Melanie is a pretty name. I grew up with 2 best friends name Melanie and Brooke, actually! I like both names, and the combo of them.

The only thing I'd warn is that my friend Melanie got a lot of nicknamey stuff growing up she didn't like. Watermelon, Watermelanie, and Mel Gibson are the ones I remember, but they weren't a big deal (I don't know where the Mel Gibson came from- I was responsible for that one, but I don't know why I did it).

Haha, yep - just 18 (first year of college). 19 in 2 months though, if that makes you feel any better :)
