Muh-Lynn spelling

So my middle name is Malyn pronounced Muh-Lynn. And I love the name but people always pronounce it wrong. How would you pronounce it? What are some other spelling that get the pronunciation Muh-Lynn?
[name_u]Malin[/name_u]
Malynn
???

Also my mother name was [name_f]Melinda[/name_f] so I’d love to possibly use that name w nn Malyn but is it weird for nn to be spelled differently?

I’ve know a M’lyn who pronounced the same. I’d go with Melyn in the us maybe?

Melin maybe, or Melyn, like [name_f]Melinda[/name_f]?

The only “person” I’ve known with that name is the [name_u]Steel[/name_u] Magnolias character, who spells it M’Lynn!

It seems like a hard one to spell in a way that’s both phonetic and aesthetically pleasing. Maybe Mahlyn, or something like that?

I think as long as you yourself are comfortable with the spelling and knowing that it’s an honor for your mother, it doesn’t quite matter how you spell it! :slight_smile:

Mullin is what I’d assume is the spelling for the muh-lynn pronunciation. But I don’t think that looks at all appealing. Maybe Mullen, [name_u]Malin[/name_u], Malinne.

Mullin maybe or Mulynn

I would spell it [name_u]Malin[/name_u], but Malyn makes sense too. I prefer [name_u]Malin[/name_u], of these two.

Melin, Melinn, Melyn, Melynn or Malynn are probably the best, in my opinion. [name_u]Malin[/name_u] already has a very different pronounciation (MAAH-lin)

[name_f]Meline[/name_f]?
