This was the name of one of my great aunts, one of my grandmother's aunts. I believe she was born in the late 1800s, and died sometime after or during the 1950s. I've heard many stories of her from my grandmother's childhood and I've always thought of Melba as a great name.

I would love the name Melba if it weren't for Melba Toast. If I named my daughter Melba she would think I named her after the toast because I always have some in the house. That would be partially true because I did first hear of the name from toast. But it is still a beautiful name. Maybe I would name a character in a story Melba, but not my own daughter.

Dame Nellie Melba was born Helen Porter Mitchell. I would probably class the name itself, popular in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as an anagram of Mabel, which was also popular at that time.
