It's not my style, but there is a really pretty girl at my church with this name, so I think it's pretty.

I don't much like Melinda. The "inda" suffix seems very articial to me. Melany, or even the trendier Melissa, would be more clasic.

I have such horrible horrible experiences with a Melinda that I now despise that name.

It makes me think of a overweight person. Overweight. I wouldnt use it. Plus nn Mindy or Missy is not very pretty either.

I've generally thought of Melinda as an older name (like my mother's generation, born in the 60's). Like some others I see her as stubborn and a little stuck up. I've heard it a lot with the NN Mendy.

While not fond of the associations, I still kind of like the name.

I knew a Melinda when I was in high school. She had blonde, straight, shoulder-length hair & blue eyes. Most of the time she was nice enough, outgoing, helpful, though maybe a bit stuck-up. But she could be bitchy behind her friends' backs, so kinda two-faced. I prefer the name Melina myself, much prettier/classier imo.

I like it. Melinda is my mums nn, I think it's pretty :)

It's okay. A bit old-fashioned, but that doesn't bother me. I imagine a Melinda as being very strong and stubborn.

I like it. It's been growing on me a lot lately. I imagine a Melinda as a sweet, cute girl, but strong. I think it's rather uncommon and a little bit old-fasioned, and it's really lovely, imo.

Its uncommon, and slightly old-fashioned, but still wonderful.

I like it. It ages well. I imagine a girl named Melinda with black hair, brown eyes, and a happy smile. She's always kind and helpful. I find it a little uncommon, but still pretty.
