Help[Opinions] Re: Maile
in reply to a message by Kris Rose
There was a child of this name on the Supernanny TV show. There were twin girls, about 4 years old, white family, perfectionist mom, etc. One was Maile and the other was Malia. Their 6 year old sister was Haeley and a baby brother Leighton.
I like the name Maile. I would anticipate pronunciation issues as some of the people before me have mentioned, but I don't think it will be too much of a problematic name otherwise.
BTW, this name is Hawaiian, which is part of America.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist! :-p (joke))

It was a joke. I was just being pain-in-the-neck technical about the America thing. I had a Spanish teacher in high school who talked about visiting somewhere in Mexico or South America when she was younger & not as fluent in the Spanish language, though what I'm getting at has nothing to do with fluency of language. And she made the mistake of saying something about "In America...." And the people she was with pointed out that their country was a part of (the) America(s).
On the show, it was pronounced the way you mentioned, MY-lee.
