We are thinking of naming our baby girl Melia, I like the pronounciation Me-leeh-a. I have found a ton of different pronouciations and meanings for the name and I am starting to worry that people would never say it the way we want it. How would you all say the name if you saw it? This is the first girls name that both my husband and I adore! For the first time, we think we have it picked out and that is such an awesome feeling! I do want to make sure it isn't too difficult for people to say. What do you think?

Malia

How you are pronouncing it is exactly how I would.

Meer-lee-ah

That's how I'd pronounce it.

A very pretty name. I thought it was close to your way....Muh-lee-uh

From you subject line .. I pronounced it ' Me-lee-ah' ...

Pretty name .
