Melanie is a gorgeous name. It also has the meaning of divine spark or spirit. Hence, this is true for my daughter. She has light brown hair and brown eyes, and is a true light to our family.

i love my name im not a dark person i have brown hair and hazel eyes i dont really like dar colors im more of a blue and yellow girl my mom named me after a girl she went to high school with but her middle name was joy. but having it for 31 years i love it im glad i wasnt named a very common name.

I knew a melanie pretty good and lets just say that dark discribed her very well!

I love, love my name. I have blonde hair and dark green eyes. Thinking about it I am a pretty dark person.
Take care Melanies

My parents me named after the movie "Gone with the Wind". I do have dark skin and hair; however my eyes are sky blue. Get a lot of comments about them people think i wear contacts. A lot of people call me melody. Also am a night owl.

I totally love my name and i was shocked to see the german origin because i also saw it defined as greek. The german origin makes alot of sense because i was named after my great great grandmother who was born in Germany.
anyway the greek meaning is dark but after the goddess of the night Melantha, i can't remember the whole story but she betrayed zeus or help the opp. side (not zeus's) in the war of troy and because of this zeus got angry and sentenced her to never see the light of day by making her the goddess of the night.

Also it is a name after the Saint Melania (there is a Melania the younger and the elder)

Hello Every One,
My Name is Melanie too. I for one love my earthly title. My dad named me that,but all he could say was that he liked it. He didn't tell me of any particular orgin. My skin is a beautiful dark brown, eyes are dark brown, and my course hair is dark brown. Melanie is a very versatile name, and naturally sophisticated in it's own way. I love it.

Melanie is an awesome name. Most of my friends call me Mel. Some people call me Melody...so to remedy this prob. I say "Mellow" then point to my knee.

My name is Melanie as well and I truly love it. I feel good when I'm called and the best part is it's not that common.

I never liked that my name meant "dark." I remember my Mother telling that she chose to name me Melanie because it had something to do with grace. I did my research and am proud to say that those of us named Melanie can now tell people, in Hebrew Melanie means "God's grace lifts me up." I like this meaning much better.

I love the name Melanie! It's my name, and though I don't really like my middle name, it flows well with Melanie. I've never met another Melanie my age. I was named after Melanie Hamilton in "Gone With the Wind". I think Melanie is the most beautiful name:) I like the meaning "God's grace lifts me up" better than dark:)
