This is my name and I've never personally met anyone with my name but I know of other women who also have the name Melisha. It does get messed up a lot, people don't take the time to see the "H" and say "Melissa" a lot. I love my name and people always tell me how beautiful it is. When you hear a name you've never come across before it tends to stick with people in my opinion.
