I must admit, I first liked
Melanie because I was laughing at her misinterpretations. Then I just preferred her to
Scarlett because, well, she was nicer. Beauty and dignity do not win me over. :D
But I digress. Genis could be right about
Melanie, or maybe
Margaret Mitchell thought the name came from "honey."
Honey definitely works for
Melanie, symbolically (clingy and sweet).
