  • That's awful.  I don't know what possesses people.  I would have pronounced it MILL-i-ka.

  • I guessed Mel-eek-a.

    She is 14. Poor kid.

    Ugh! That's bad no matter how it's pronounced!

    Our first baby girl, Lucia Joy, joined us on April 1, 2010!
  • Melissa??  ::face palm::  Oh boy...
  • I actually asked her if it was a cultural or family name. She said no - her mom wanted to be creative.

    You have to love blatant disregard for how English works and stuff.

  • Her mom isnt that original that is the serbian spelling of melissa.
  • I had a class with a Melicca, also pronounced Melissa. She got super upset with the prof read her name as "Mill-ick-a." We all kind of went Tongue Tied

    That's what I was wondering - if it was translated from Cyrillic without getting translated into English (written in Cyrillic with Latin  letters). That's the only way it makes sense.

    This. I have a friend named Milica that is Serbian. I really like it. Pronouncing it as Melissa is just bad.
