[name_m]How[/name_m] would you spell Ma [name_m]Lay[/name_m] Na? And is it actually a real name???

Thanks!!

[name_f]Milena[/name_f] is the closest name I can think of to this pronunciation, and that is a legitimate name.

Oh really? That looks like Ma [name_u]Lee[/name_u] Na to me

4

I would spell it [name_f]Malena[/name_f], which does come up as a name on Nameberry.

5

[name_f]Milena[/name_f] is pronounced Mill-AY-nah. I would also spell it [name_f]Malena[/name_f].

6

Ok thanks. I was just curious!!

I’ve seen it spelled Malaina and [name_f]Melaina[/name_f] on other sites as well. I really like [name_f]Milena[/name_f] but probably would’ve said it muh-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-nuh at first glance.

I would spell it [name_f]Melaina[/name_f], which is indeed a historically established name:

[name_f]Melaina[/name_f] would be how I would do it. Maleyna could also work.
