Comments for the name Mel

Mel Brooks (born Melvin) is a famous bearer.

My uncle calls me that even though my name is really Melanie.

Famous bearer is Mel Gibson, an American actor and director. He won the Academy Award for Directing.

The person who did Bugs Bunny's voice is Mel Blanc.

Not only did Mel Blanc do the voice of Bugs Bunny, but also Marvin the Martian, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzalez, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn and Yosemite Sam.

Mel is a nickname for a character named Meliara, a rebellious barefooted countess, in a book by Sherwood Smith.

There's a Thai guy in my class who goes by Mel. His actual name is Tananant, though. Go figure.

This name is a fun and short nickname for Melvin, Melissa, Melinda, Melanie, and Melody.

Mel can also be short for Melinda.

I never did like the sound of this nickname, but that heinous anti-semitic and misogynist dork Mel Gibson has really made me hate it.

I love this name for a girl, not so much for a boy. It's so simple, yet so full of personality! Great name. :)

It sounds boring as a legal name, and it makes me think of the hideous anti-Semite Mel Gibson.

Means "honey" (as in the gooey substance made by bees, not as in "dear") in Portuguese. A celebrity couple here named their daughter this about a year ago, and I don't know of anyone else who has done that.

It's really too bad if Mel Gibson ruins the name for someone because he's anti-Jewish. Keep in mind what they said about Mel BROOKS: "He's like the Barack Obama for short, funny Jews." It's a good name; just forget about Gibson.
