I've been thinking about it ever since that one season of
America's Net Top Model. The runner-up's name was Melrose, short for
Melanie Rose I believe. I kind of like it, probably as a name by it's self, not as a nn. Though I do love
Melissa and it's hard to turn that down. My philosophy, if you plan on calling her Melrose then name her Melrose.
The older generations my link it to Melrose Place, but that's okay.
