My Fiance brought up a new name tonight… he starts talking and he says “[name_f]Melea[/name_f]”
so of course I am quiet. I think of it… and I dont hate it… (We disagree on names quite often) so my first question to him was girls name? and he says i guess it could be, and well i actually like it. What do you guys think?
I appreciate that! And Milea when i read is makes me think of a mile or mile a my brain separates everything and tends to overthink. With [name_f]Melea[/name_f] I liked that it could be separated into [name_u]Mel[/name_u] or [name_f]Lea[/name_f]. ( Thanks for the feedback)
I think I’d spell it [name_f]Malia[/name_f] or [name_f]Melia[/name_f] - Im not sure if you’re stressing the first syllable (MAH-lee-uh) as in the country, or the second (meh-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-uh), but I think it’s a good name either way. Pretty, not too complicated. It’s got several ways it could be spelled, but it’s still not that crazy.
Not knowing the taste of you and your SO outside of this one name it is difficult to give suggestions.
Milea [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (traditional)
Milea [name_u]June[/name_u] (Classic)
Milea [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] (classic but a bit more off beat)
Milea [name_u]Bay[/name_u] (more modern)
Milea [name_m]Pip[/name_m] ( bit more out there)
Milea [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
Milea [name_f]Aoibh[/name_f]
Milea [name_u]Arliss[/name_u]
etc etc. the types go on. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] those helped!
I rather like it. [name_f]Melea[/name_f] looks somehow better, more harmonious than [name_f]Melia[/name_f]. But a lot depends on the pronunciation you’d use.
I’m confused by the information on Nameberry on this name, they seem to got it mixed up with Melete. But anyhow, I like [name_f]Melea[/name_f].
It reminds me of [name_m]Obama[/name_m]'s daughter, [name_f]Malia[/name_f]. I also know a girl who spells it [name_f]Maleah[/name_f]. Would you pronounce it the same? If so, I prefer the spelling [name_f]Malia[/name_f], because I think it’s more recognizable.
Well, I’pronounce it (Meh-[name_u]Lee[/name_u]-[name_m]Ah[/name_m]) not much emphasis on any of the syllables. We’d spell it [name_f]Melea[/name_f] or maybe [name_f]Meleah[/name_f]. When I read [name_f]Milia[/name_f] i think of a mile or Mili-ah. I dont know if that made any sense at all. haha. And as for middle names I like the suggestions so far!
