i dont think ive ever said it out loud before but in my head, i just pretend the "o" is silent... and pronounce it melvin lol ._.

but every time i see her name i think "how the hell do you pronounce that o_O" and i start going over those pronunciations you listed in my head lol wondering which it is.
