I like Tuesday Melody a lot. Sometimes you have to be a bit careful. I knew a girl named April May, and of course, her last name was June. There were quips: March! April May June!
Tuesday Wells was much admired (oh, I'm not going to say this...) "back in the day." (ow)

Tuesday Corrine sounds good but I'd spell it with 2 'n's

Why not tweak the spelling a bit like making it Twesday (But pronounced Tuesday)? That might set your kid out from the crowd.

Do I sense some sarcasm?

Perhaps. But consider for a moment the way names are shortened by their peers. William for Bill, Pamela for Pam, Elizabeth for Liz, etc. What will they do with Tuesday? Maybe shorten it to Tuse or Toos or Tooz? I'd even wager that by the time she gets a cell phone as a teen she'd get text messages greeting her by texting "2s" as her name (less buttons to push). It just seems a sign of the times and how reality is played these days. (Shrug)

I had a friend Tuesday AnnMarie growing up. We called her everything from tues, to tutu, to tutty. So what if a person doesn't liek the name or wants to shorten it to some weird form. The real thing is the daughter and her uniqueness whether or not her name is as unique.

Also, wasn't there an actress years ago named Tuesday Wells? So it's not that modern... I don't think a single instance (or even several instances) of usage from the past really signifies much. It just means that someone from a generation or two back chose a name that was outside the box. Right now, though, day names (Sunday, Tuesday, etc.) seem to be picking up steam. (I'm saying this based on anecdotal evidence. The trend hasn't shown up yet on the SSA popularity chart.) If this is indeed the case, and day names become a bona fide trend, they will be a modern phenomenon.

Tuesday's child is meek and mild, so the old poem goes.
Tuesday Grace would be a pretty name.
Children will find nicknames for just about anyone's name, regardless of what it is. Kids are just like that.

OT, I apologize, but I just have to comment on this... I knew a girl named April May, and of course, her last name was June. There were quips: March! April May June! "April May June"? Wow. That just seems cruel to me. Hopefully she took it in stride.
