Help[Opinions] Re: I agree about them needing to be individuals...
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I just hate this in general, siblings or twins. Variety is good.
Melinda and Melissa would be way too close for my liking, especially since both are commonly shortened to Mel. Also all middle names beginning with the same letter? Tacky (and confusing for monogrammed stuff).

agree about Melissa and Melinda...
Though I've only ever met one girl who was ever called Mel, and her name was Melanie. This Melissa's family pronounced her name Me-LEE-Sa, who knows why? She always pronounced it Melissa, the regular way, probably because she knew it was a losing battle to insist that people call her by her family's pronunciation. I think Melinda might have been called Mindy occasionally, but not in general.
