Melvin is predominantly a male name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 100,000 people named Melvin in the US today.
The name Melvin's root letters are MV.
The letter V is the unquestioned flagship of all that is virile, vibrant, voluptuous, virtuous, vampish and valiant, andwhenever it occurs in a word, injects it with a sense of vim and vigorous sexuality. The V’s combination with the letter M (the symbol for all things motherly, maternal, and merciful) produces the aspect of spontaneous passion found in: motivate, movingly, impulsive, marvel, emotive, mover, and primeval. If your MV friend was an animal, he or she would be an EnergizerBunny… fullof restless energy and (some say) a fluffy white bottom that people find irresistible.
Melvins usually have plenty of irons in the fire and function best in jobs in which they can indulge their wide range of interests. MV’s are drawn to the spotlight like commuters to Starbucks, and whether they’re on stage or standing in front of a classroom, know how to hold an audience. The Melvins’ restless energies are attractive to young children who appreciate their enthusiasm and encouragement and those who enter the field of education are invariably successful. In addition to these talents, the Melvins’ right-brained creativity lends itself to working in the design and computer fields.
Like most people whose names begin with the letter M, you wouldn’t expect to find Melvins in politics or in corporate boardrooms. Melvins are definitely lovers -- not fighters -- and conflict of any kind just isn’t their thing. It should also be said that even though the Melvins are usually physically active, they’re more likely to be involved in sports in which they only compete with themselves. Besides, there’s that reputation for being a little klutzy.
Generous and sympathetic, Melvins sometimes get to into trouble when they bite off more than they can chew. This particularly applies to the Melvins’ intimate relationships where they often over-invest their emotional capital, but most of the time MV mates prove to be devoted consorts who approach each relationship as if it was their first.
The Melvins’ most reliable unions are those that stem from comfortable best-friend relationships, but then again, if they were looking for reliability they’d buy toasters. That’s why most Melvins’ get involved with partners who promise some element of excitement or even danger. For these relationships to work, their partners will have to keep up with their high-energy lifestyles: high-maintenance mates need not apply.
