I have a friend and her name is Alexandra and her husband's name is Mason so they named their baby Malandra because it is a combination of their names. Do you like the name Malandra?

I know there are so many haters but i like the name malandra, i dont think it sounds like malaria or any other disease. to me it sounds really exotic and beutiful. I think that if they really like the name they should go for it, because its really pretty, and its their baby so its their choice. Also, i can think of a ton of good nicknames for malandra, for example, mala, andrea, andra, ann, malena(like elena with an m), mel, Mel-anne..... yeah, i hope i helped, good uck to your friend!!!!

We are naming our little girl Alexandra and Mason is a nice name but I also agree with the girl/woman who said that it sounds like a disease (too close to Malaria maybe?). Anyway, it's their choice but I think they could find a better unique name.

I have heard of the name Malandra before. There is an actress called Malandra on British Television. However, in answer to your question, yes its an okay name. I don't really think that it really matters if I, you or anyone else likes it though. It's lovely that your friends thought of it like that. Good luck to them and if they are happy with the name then you, as a friend, should be happy for them.

I'm not a huge fan of Malandra, but I've heard ALOT worse. I think if I knew somebody named that, it would eventually grow on me. But I wouldn't choose that name in a million years.

I think it is unusal not weird!
most people don't get called by the full name if it is long anyway, so if it is a boy it could be known as
Mal or Andy
and if it is a girl perhaps
may or Lani!
i like it!

It reminds me of malaria and according to Behind The Name it means 'naughty' and 'rascal' in Portuguese. Not a name I'd like to have.

To be a bit blunt- yes, I think its awful. That baby girl doesn't need a name that sounds so close to Salamander.
She needs her own unique name- not a combination of her parents. She's her own person, isn't she?

Well, even though it sounds a lot like Malaria, i think that Malandra is a nice name. I have never heard of anything like it and its different. I like different. Malandra fits.
