nn and mn for Melissa?
| Sun, 02-05-2006 - 10:29am |
Ok, I think DH and I have decided on a girl name - my criteria was that it had to be feminine sounding and not trendy. His criteria seemed to change every day, and he didn't like my top choices: Brenna, Jillian, and Christina. But last night he said he LOVED the name Melissa. While it wouldn't be my first choice, I do like it and I think it's growing on me the more I think about the name Melissa Myers.
Here's my dilemma - I need a pretty mn that flows well. My mn is LeAnn and would love to pass that on, but I'm not sure it flows all that well. I'm also wondering what to call her (if it's a her). I'm not fond of Missy...would Liz pass as a nn? If not, what are some other suggestions?
TIA!

Hello Heidi,
My name is melissa and I am not sure if you are still looking for suggestions for nn and mn for you baby regarding the name Melissa, but I thought I'd write anyway.
Mn are very hard to come up with. Mine is after my grandmother.. Joan, which isnt very pretty but works for me. I love My name. and if you do have a girl you can always call her honey bee..which is the meanging of melissa. while shes still very young.
As far as Missy is concerend. no one ever calls me that and my mother made sure of it! melis, MJ, mel, are my nicknames. my mom always said she loved when people called me mel, because when I got older i would surprise them with the fact i was a girl , tall skinny and blonde.... not what you expect when you think of the name mel..lol..by the way melissa meyers is very nice...my maiden name was Melissa J McMunn..good luck!!

Thanks, Melissa! It's nice to hear that others have steered clear of Missy - I just don't like it! :)
I do like Honey Bee - I had read that about the meaning...

Hi...another Melissa here. My mn is Marie, it is also my Mom's mn. She also made sure that no one ever called me Missy. She couldn't stand it so I've been known as Lis or Lissa all my life. This name was very popular in the 70's but you don't here of many little girls today with the name. I also love the meaning of my name as you can tell by my screen name.
Good Luck!!
