Melisande
This old-time fairy tale name is rarely heard in the modern English-speaking world, but it’s so, well, mellifluous, that it would make a lovely choice for a twenty-first century girl.
Pelleas and Melisande is a play by Maeterlinck, the inspiration for the Debussy opera of the same name. In modern times, Melisande became a princess via the Rankin and Bass film The Flight of Dragons.
