^ What my friend told me when i said that’s a name we’re considering if we have a girl. She said it’s a beautiful name but becoming so popular. (Now that I look at posts here I am noticing it a lot)

I’m really wanting to honor my mom in a way that’s not using her actual name. My mom’s name is Melinda❤️ she is my best friend & hero. Amelia is *almost* an anagram (contains the same letters in different order) and they both share the “meli” bit. I don’t want her to be 1 of 7 Amelia’s in her class though... any thoughts? or suggestions of names that could honor the name Melinda? TIA 😊
