How would you spell this name?

[visitor1]

Pronounced Meh-lay-nah

[Pandora]

Melaina?

Is it like Marlena but a Meh sound instead of a Mar sound?

[visitor1]

I think so RayRay!

[Winter]

Melayna or Melaynah ??

Has someone had a baby and you've only heard the name? Not seen it spelt?

[visitor1]

Ive heard the name but not how its spelt

[Fleur]

I thought Melainah, but then I saw Winter's post & thought yeah, could be that too...

[Tinks]

I'd spell it Melaina

[smiles4u]

me too Tinks, .... Melaina

[AnyDream]

Sounds an awful lot like Marlene - as in Marlene Dietrich - to me.

[LimeSlice]

Sounds an awful lot like Marlene - as in Marlene Dietrich - to me.

:yeahthat: Exactly what I was thinking too

[grub17]

do you mean like Marlena from Days of Our Lives? you know "doc'' who has died abou 10 times; got possessed by some sort of creature once and married roman? who was really john black. lol.

sorry, not sure if that's helpful but that was my first thought.

[Shar]

I'd go with.......

Malayna

Purely because I like spelling names differently and I tend to go with how they look written.
i like the y in it as it looks good/different

My son is Bryce, I put the y in as I had seen it spelt Brice and thought it looked better with the y.

Malayna - Nice name BTW.

[Chocaholic]

We have a girl at daycare with that name. Her parents spelt in Malena, just left out the R.

It is a lovely name!

[Hollybolly]

Milaynah... Melayna... Melayna... Meleyna?

Does it sound like Marleyna (off Days Of Our Lives ) - without the ''ar'' sound?

Grub - She was possessed by the devil I remember watching tose episodes while breastfeeding DS... LOL!

[Kirley64]

Melayna or Melaynah ??

I would agree with winter and one of these spellings - but i like 'y' and 'h' 's in names

[Indadhanu]

Hmmmmm, good question. I'd say Melaina... Melayna... even Milaina?

[Erin_25]
