You can call me...
People generally call me Mel, a very special few call me Mellie, even fewer call me MelMel (reserved for the children of friends and people who knew me in junior high), and I'm embarassed to say that I was once called Lanie.
My grandmother was the first person to call me Mellie, and today it's mostly used by people who are very close to me. Mel is a pretty given nickname for Melanie, and I was Lanie to several of my friends in highschool.
Oh, and I actually know one (darling) person who calls me 'Mels'.
I'll answer to pretty much anything.

I have a sister named Melody, whom most of us call Mel and some people (now mainly limited to my uncle) occasionally call Mellie. Mom and Dad had apparently done the back and forth about what to name her, but hadn't definitely agreed on a name. I was a precocious child, and had been reading about the Kennedys. I therefore suggested Jacqueline, but Grandma talked them out of it and named her instead, after the old song ("A pretty girl is like a melody" or something like that.)
Forgot to mention... at the time my sis was born, I was four.
Thanks a million for the invite! :-)
