ArchivesRe: Alternate spelling of a name
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
Thanks for presenting your opinion. My concern was regarding the experiment people do with names. I am not aware how English names are formed, but most of the Indian names have their grammatical structure and any experiment with them could change their meaning or renders them meaningless at all. I wonder if the same happens with names in some other languages too.
I wondered why the Frisbee was getting bigger, and then it hit me.

Thanks everyone! The main thing I was worried about was that it was so unique it would have to be listed as a seperate name. I never intended that at all! I just wanted it to be an alternate spelling of Melissa... And since I wasn't the only one to use it for a name, I guess it's just not that unusual. Just pretty rare...
And I'm certain that other languages have the same quirks that the Indian ones do. I know for a face that one has to be very careful with Native American names. That's the main reason that babies and children are given such simple names until they come of age. It gives time and thought into the adult name so that it will fit the person and not screw up the meaning....
Anyway... I just wanted to say thanks...
