Melissa Rose:

Melissa: /məˈlɪsə/ (mə-LIS-sə) This represents a common American English pronunciation. Variations exist depending on accent and dialect. For example, some might pronounce the 'i' in 'Melissa' with a slightly shorter sound, closer to the 'i' in 'ship'. The stress is consistently on the second syllable.

• Alternative Phonetic Spellings (Illustrative): Mel-ih-sa, Mel-iss-a (simpler, less precise)

Rose: /roʊz/ (rohz) Again, this is a common American English pronunciation. The 'o' sound is a long 'o' as in 'boat'.

• Alternative Phonetic Spellings (Illustrative): Rohz (simpler), Rows (if pronounced with a short 'o' sound, which is less common)

Combined Phonetic Spelling (for the full name): məˈlɪsə roʊz (mə-LIS-sə rohz)

Important Note: Phonetic spellings are inherently approximations. The best way to ensure accurate pronunciation is to listen to a native speaker pronounce the name. These phonetic transcriptions provide a guide, but nuances of pronunciation can vary significantly.
