Help[Opinions] Re: Mylie
in reply to a message by Katherine
First off, I'm not going to lie and pretend I like Mylie/Miley/Maile. I havn't even heard of it until recently, and i think it has something to do with a child actress of the same name. All of a sudden everyone seems to love it, and I have a feeling it will experiance a small boom which doesn't add any appeal.
I think it is pretty, but peraps it could be used as a nickname for a more formal name that could be better for an adult: Malina, Malinda, Mallory, Milena, Millicent, Mirela / Mirella, Mirele?
That being said Victoria seems to balance the newness of Miley, and th combo has nice flow.

I agree. I have a feeling that the name is becoming popular due to the actress as well, but I also noticed that Maile was appearing regularly on birth announcements after Wayne Brady and his wife used Maile for their daughter some years ago. People try to pass off Maile as a legitimate Hawaiian name, but what gets me is that Maile wouldn't even be pronounced like Miley in Hawaiian. And was Maile even used as a traditional first name by Hawaiians? It seems like it's just a Hawaiian word that people have recently started using as a first name (kind of like Cerise, which is not a traditional name in France by any means).
Another thing that bothers me is that Miley Cyrus's name isn't even Miley. Her dad used to call her Smiley, which lead to Miley. Miley/Mylie, etc. reminds me of Nevaeh in that regard although Miley sounds like it could be a surname. I still don't care for it though. It's about as trendy as you can get.
