Help[Opinions] Re: Mel
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
Freaky. I was just thinking about doing a thread on Mel (m) this morning.
My cousin had a little boy named Mel, just Mel. I'm not sure if she spelled it Mel or Mael, but she said it was after the ancient Irish saint. I googled it once and found the reference. He was an associate of St. Patrick I think, or another well known Gaelic saint. I've always loved the sound of "mel" in names (so warm and friendly) so the fact that it is also an Irish male name in its own right was most welcome. Another name that you could use as a formal name is Melchior.
If I used it for a girl, it would be a nn for Imelda.
Mel Francis / Proinsias / Proinnsias / Franciscus
Mel Redmond
Mel Gareth / Garrett / Garrick
Mel Padraig
Mel Fergus
Mel Vincent
Mel Eamonn
Mel Augustus
Mel Hamish / Seamus
Mel Cormac
Mel Evaristus
Mel Stephen
Mel Gavin
Mel Ignatius
Mel Jeremiah
Mel Columba
Mel Angus
Mel Benedictus
Mel Roderick
Mel Constantine
Mel Theophilus ("thee-AH-fil-us")
Mel Brogan
Mel Desmond
Mel Cairbre / Carbrey / Rosscarbery (small town in Southern Ireland, Co. Cork)
Mel Trahaern
Sooooo, you like?

Thank you! I am loving these:
Mel Redmond - unexpected and packs a punch
Mel Gareth - gives Mel some teeth
Mel Vincent - Mel at his very suavest
Mel Gavin - short, snappy, and very modern. Excellent!
Mel Constantine - I love it! The revenge of the nerds.
Mel Desmond - ohhh sexy
Mel Cairbre / Carbrey / Rosscarbery - these are interesting because there is also a small town named Carberry in my province, where some of my cousins live!

Awww Mael. I have been meaning to stop forgetting about that name because I do really like it. Especially after just combo-making myself into liking the sound of Mel. Now I must have all kinds of fun with Mael tomorrow!
And while I'm here, I didn't especially think to pair Mel with Irish things, probably because I hadn't made the Mael connection. Mel Proinsias! Mel Padraig! Mel Eamonn! And I have to like Mel Columba, of course. And so many more of those are great. Mel Benedictus, ooh.
Too bad it's too late to play with names anymore today. You've gotten me all excited! :)
