Help[Opinions] Mahala?
WDYT of the girls name Mahala? It's pronounced MAH-luh (I know some people and places use muh-HAY-luh or muh-HAH-luh but I prefer MAH-luh because it's the first version I heard).
I used to adore this name back when I thought it meant 'tenderness', which was the meaning given in my very first baby names book. Then I came to BtN and discovered that it was a variation of Mahalah, which means 'weak, sick', and I immediately dropped it off my list because the meaning is too negative for me.
Recently I noticed that the entry for Mahala had been edited, and there's a new meaning! It can also be a variation of Mahalath, which means 'lyre', a perfectly fine association.
So, it's back on my list. Thoughts / impressions?
