I couldn't think of anything clever, so I just stuck with Melanie, the name my parents gave me. My dad had never heard the name and read it in the birth announcements before I was born, but he pronounced it wrong (he thought it was M-lay-nie), but my mother, being a Gone With The Wind fan, quickly corrected him and somehow I ended up with the name. Friends call me Mel and family call me Lanie, but I just ended up with Melanie on all my membership and log-in names. I wish I had a more dramatic or interesting story. Melanie
