Lovely ethereal name. Definitely gives off the fairytale kind of vibe, but I can see it work in modern day due to its similarities to other mainstream names. Would love to see Melusine be used in real life!

Very interesting. I prefer Melusina, for Melusine seems a bit too masculine for me.

Although people don't exactly know what Melusine means, I believe it might be Middle Breton version of Millicent, but that's not very likely.
I do love Melusine, it's one of my two favorites names.
