I have never been one to like all those 2 and 3 syllable M names: Michelle, Mallory, Melissa, Miranda, Marissa, etc. but find myself drawn to Melinda. I should say I have a very good friend named Melinda from college (been out of college for 15 yrs) who is very dear to me (and was the best person to talk to after my miscarriage) and she has propbably done much to influence my impression of the name -- still, I don't think that's all of it. I know everything I read indicates Melinda is terribly dated but I can't help feeling like it might be an unusual/fresh choice for a pretty little girl. Any opinions? Be kind (but yes, be honest too).

I actually don't mind Melinda. I don't think it's an overly-popular show, but Jennifer Love Hewitt's character on Ghost Whisperer is Melinda, so I can definitely picture it on a young woman. The only thing that makes it seem dated in my mind is the possible nn Mel (I grew up with a lot of girls named Melissa, nn Mel), but there are plenty of fresher options if you want a nn -- Mila, Mina or Lindy, for example. ;)

I LOVE it. I don't find it outdated at all, it is definitely ready for a comeback. It has a spunky, fresh feel to it.
