I've really been liking this name lately. Just so you know, its pronounced my-lee. WDYT?

Nobody sings a love song quite like you do
And nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong

I like it, it's cute. Not sure how well it will age though.

I don't like the "lee" sound at the end; it seems kind of forced. I don't know very much about the pronunciation of Hawaiian names, though, so it's only my opinion. I'd buy my-leh more easily.

I hate it. One of my friends has a dog named Maille and it's pronounced like Molly.

I prefer this spelling to the kree8tiv ones like Mylee or Miley, but it seems odd on a non-Hawaiian person, imo.

Well, the sound of it is very fashionable (like Maia and Chloe), and because I never saw it until this year (and have seen it a LOT this year on the net), it seems very trendy.

I think it's a nice name, and would grow up fine; maybe becoming dated. Some pronunciation and spelling problems are pretty much guaranteed, but it's not bad. I certainly like it better than annoying invented soundalike "Miley."
