Any ideas on nicknames for Melissa?
I've thought of: Missy (don't like)
Lissa
Mellie
Millie
Mel
Any more come to mind? Thinking of naming our daughter Melissa, but not sold on calling her that.

The most common one I've seen for Melissa is Mel. You could probably get away with May or M / Em as nicknames too. Also just Liss, instead of Lissy or Lissa. Liz may work as well.
Some similar names to Melissa:
Melina (Lina, Mina)
Melanie (Lane, Laney)
Meliora (Liora, Lia)
Melody (ok there's not many great nicknames for this one)
Alyssa (Allie)
Elissa (Ellie, Elle, Ella)
level 1
Isa (eye-suh)
Ellie
Elis
I think the usual ones are the best, rather than these.

Nicknames are simple ways to make people seem more personable. They can be used as a term of endearment or to show affection. Often, nicknames come from things about the person that stand out such as their hair, height, or personality. Nicknames are usually short and informal, which people use for other people. These words create a new identity for someone and can be used as playful. A nickname is often given to people who have
an unusual name or some similarity to another person. It can also be given to a child by their parents or family members as they grow up, often in honor of somebody they looked up to at the time.What are some cool nicknames for Melissa?
