Melanie or Melania?

First off thanks to everyone who made suggestions I have them all written down and am going through each one. However, as of right now I’m trying to sort of narrow it down so I don’t feel too overwhelmed. They never tell you how hard naming your child can actually be! Her middle name will be [name_u]Blair[/name_u] since we decided [name_u]Raven[/name_u] was a bit harder to use (I strayed away from a lot of names that ended with an N because I disliked how the double ending N sounded) so now I am cutting it down and I cannot decide if I like [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] or [name_f]Melania[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] better. [name_f]My[/name_f] last name is [name_m]Hernandez[/name_m] so part of me thinks [name_f]Melania[/name_f] would work a bit better, but I have always been a fan of [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] since Gone With the Wind. Which one do you like better?

I prefer [name_f]Melanie[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] a lot. I really dislike [name_f]Melania[/name_f]/[name_f]Milania[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Melanie[/name_f]! [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] is just way too much for me. I don’t understand the appeal.

[name_f]Melanie[/name_f]. Definitely [name_f]Melanie[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Melanie[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Melania[/name_f] is much more lush and romantic. The only downside is its similarity to the medical word ‘melena,’ which means pooping blood.

The more you know :lol:
