I would like to hear your honest opinions of the girl's name Melanie. My dh & I are considering it but we are still not sure. Our last name is Rask, in case you need it or are wondering. Thanks in advance!

I like it. It is not a name that I hear too often, so that is nice. Any middle names picked as of yet? Oh--I think Melanie sounds nice with your last name, too!

I think it's a very pretty name. I like it with your last name too. It's a very refreshing choice.

I love Melanie! So pretty and nobody uses it anymore; I love to see names like that. It sounds just fine w/ your last name.

I like Melanie a lot! It's common enough that people are familiar with it, but it's not overused. Mel is a nice simple nn, too, especially for a teenager. This would be a great choice!

It sounds nice with your last name. To be honest, I don't LOVE the name, but its not bad. Its just not GREAT. Its an average name, in my opinion. Mel or Melly are both nice nn's.

I love the name Melanie. I have a best friend with that name. She was named after the Melanie in "Gone With the Wind". Her first and middle names are Melanie Dawn.

Honestly, I thought "eh, never really cared for that name" when I first started reading, and then I really liked the way it sounds with your last name!

I think it flows very well. I like it.

it's a pretty name, melodious sound to it

it's not old, new, trendy, common, popular - it's just one of those names you've heard here and there - and it's NOT unisex - yaaay!

I think it would be a good choice for you.

good luck

My sister-in-law's name is Melanie and she always goes by 'Mel' which I think is very masculine. I didn't mind the name until I knew her!
