Comments for the name Melvin

It means chief.

Unfortunately, Melvin also is what one calls having underpants pulled up painfully high in the back.

Birth name of actor/director Mel Brooks.

I can't say I like this name, it is nerdy sounding.

Melvin "Mel" Blanc was (1908-1989) was did the voice of nearly all the Looney Tunes characters, Woody Woodpecker, Secret Squirrel, various Flintstone characters and Heathcliff. He's most famous as the voice of Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and Daffy Duck.

Melvin Twemlow is a character in "Our Mutual Friend" by Charles Dickens.

I think it's a fantastic name. I wish it was more popular.

It is becoming more popular in Sweden, but I doubt that it'll grow in popularity to that extent in any English-speaking country anytime soon.

Melvin, Melvin, Melvin. This sounds like a terrible name! Unfortunately, I got that name stuck in my head. Honestly, it sounds nerdy and kind of, well, dumb. No offense!

George W Bush has a brother named Melvin.

This is my father's name. Even so I can't say I really like the name. The first half is fine "Mel" it's the second half that gets me "Vin". I really really dislike the name Vin or any name that has that name in it. Except the name Vincent. I happen to really like that name. Go figure.

Melvin is very, very popular where I live. It seems like every other boy is named Melvin/Melwin. I'm so tired of it.

I think it should be noted that in slang the name Melvin is used in a derogatory way to described an "uncool", "nerdy", "dorky" person.

This is an awful name. It will cause a lot of discrimination, knowing that Melvin is used as a generic name for a geek. I can't understand why it's still used, or why it's so trendy in Sweden. I guess that some other people don't think Melvin is nerdy.
