[Opinions] Re: Maali?
Are you pronouncing it more like may-lee or mah-lee? I've actually heard about (didn't meet) of a girl named "may-lee" (spelling not known) and she had some indigenous background. It's ok, it's simple yet pretty and has a "modern/trendy" sound to it, but it's a little "cutesy" for me to appreciate as a first name. I personally wouldn't use it. As a middle name it is fine. Probably something with 3 (or 4?) syllables and ending in -a would flow best?Jacinta Maali

Irene (German, Dutch pron.) Maali
Johanna Maali

It would be mah-lee - the ‘aa’ spelling is used to transcribe ‘ah’ in Noongar words. I like most of these, but Jacinta Maali is stunning!
