It does feel a bit 1980s-ish, but I agree it's a lovely name.

Not really. Maybe not as common as it once was, but it's still pretty popular. The youngest Melissa I know is about six, I think.

Melissa has a real 70s/80s vibe and feels a little dated to me, but not unusably so. I've always thought it was pretty.

A little, but it's still adorable, and would be very refreshing on a new baby! There is nothing wrong with a name that is a bit dated!

I wouldn't say it was dated, maybe a little retro, but that's fine with me! Actually, it may start growing on me.

I think it's so pretty and yes, it feels a bit 70's/80's (I grew up with a lot of them) but those are some of my favorite names and it doesn't feel outdated to me at all. I think it would be great to hear on a sweet little baby! It's a beautiful name.
