Melky doesnt sound like a spanish name. But then neither does Robinson Cano. I was wondering if anyone knew if Melky was a nickname to shorten his actual name. Any thoughts?

Yeah Im a Yankee fan too and I know about the Leche nickname haha. Good point that dominicans dont really have spanish names. Robinson Cano is a good example.

I know him personally, and his legal name is Melky. Most Dominican names, really don't sound Spanish.

It's his real name.
And it seems like his teammates have adopted calling him "Leche"
