Well I'm naming my daughter Melena...(mah-lena)..not Mah-LEEENA..haha...how should I spell it?

Question

can anyone help me spell it so it makes better sense? maybe a line over an e..or a tilde..or something...I have no clue??

Answer 1

Malina.

Answer 2

I think that the spelling Melena is correct. If you wanted the other pronunciation it would be Meleena.

However, what about Melayna...

Donald Trumps new wife is Melania. I think that is her spelling and I always thought it was a beautiful name as well.

Good luck! SD

Answer 3

Maléna
Meléna
Malayna
Malaina
Melaena

Answer 4

How about - Maleyna!

So persons will pronounce it MA -LEY- NA

or u can use Maalena (sort of unique and the first syllable is long causing the second to be short just as u want it!)

Malaina, Mhaleyna, Mahaila

Answer 5

i'd spell it R A I N. it's going to make existence a lot less difficult, with out you and later her having to consistently say "Rain, with an e" or "Rain, spelled R A Y N E". to furnish you an selection selection, although, there's somewhat female on my son's baseball crew named Rain. Her call is spelled R E I G N E. I nonetheless want the elementary spelling.

Answer 6

I actually like the way you spelled it.. Melena.. I would have pronounced it right!! Good luck
