Melesina
I've recently fallen in love with Melesina, which may be a variant of Millicent. I like that it's looser and loucher than Millicent (which I also love). What do you think?Combos:Melesina Constance / Constantia
Melesina Dido
Melesina Dorcas
Melesina Eudoxia
Melesina Frances
Melesina Hopestill
Melesina Judith
Melesina Margery

It reminds me of the Irish poet Melesina Trench. A very interesting name - shiny, and slinky, kind of snake-like. But also makes me think of... pudding?Melesina Dido is very fun. Springy.
Melesina Hopestill is enchanting, very fay.
Melesina Opal makes me think of a widow grieving her late husband who was lost at sea. I mean that as a compliment.
Melesina Pleasance is fun in a puritan way. Almost makes me want to say.... Melesina Credence??
Melesina Sibyl would be my choice. So glossy and otherworldly.

Are you sure about Millicent? To me, it looks like a variant of (or mistake for!) Melusine, water nymph and ancestress of the Plantagenets! Which I far prefer the look of ... combo-wise, I can't look beyond Melusine Eleanor!

It's a little too shiny. The syllables are too even. It seems a bit like it was invented by me or my friend in fourth grade as the name of a Very Beautiful Princess. It doesn't quite register as a name.Loucher... that's a new word to me.Maybe I like most with Vashti.

It reminds me of Melusine, which intrigues me.
(Who could resist "a water fairy who turned into a serpent from the waist down every Saturday" with the name of an unknown meaning?) XDI like:
Melesina Constance / Constantia
Melesina Dorcas - it looks as if it's come straight out of Harry Potter lore.
Melesina Frances, Melesina Sibyl - posh, dignified and Belle Époque-ish - my first thoughts.

It's nice. It starts good with the Mel- beginning and ends wonderfully with -sina. I wouldn't think it was a variant of Millicent, though
