I like Maleaha (are you pronouncing it Muh-lay-uh?) That's my friends middle name but is spelled Maleia. I've always loved that name. How about Inara for the middle name? Maleaha Inara or Maleaha Dream

These are all pretty names with lovely meanings but (yes, there's a but) do you really want to spend the rest of yours and your daughter's lives explaining how to spell/pronounce these names?
Also, consider the fact that names can limit/affect a child's career options. Whether it's fair or not people are judged to some extent by their names. If a boss sees a resume for Lauren Jones vs. Maleaha Jones he is going to have some preconceptions...
If you were going to choose one of these I would suggest Inara, it will be the easiest to pronounce and spell. But I might try coming up with a few more easily recognizable names. Maybe give her a simpler first name and one of these for a middle name?
And please don't name her Dream... nice sentiment, but that will end with either stripping or joining a cult.

Maleaha is beautiful. Could I suggest though that it is hard to figure out how to pronounce it. Do you like spelling it as Malia? Malia is Hawaiian and means thoughtful. Your other names are beautiful but strong for a child to live with. They would be safer as middle names. Good luck with a name. The perfect one will come. Sorry your boyfriend is not helping. The blessing is that you get more power to choose!

Maleaha and Malaya are beautiful names really pretty and they're unique which is great!
Inara is nice but not as much as the two above.
Don't like dream at all it's cute but only when the girl is quite small.
Good luck

Maleaha or Malaya. Dream could be a middle name, but it's kind of cheesy and definately not a good first name. Bummer your bf won't help with the names. Hopefully he actually helps you with the baby!

Dream- DON"T DO IT!!!
Of all of them (not really too fond of any of them to be honest, but this isn't my kid it's yours) I like Inara the best. But I'm also a firm believer that you shouldn't name a child a name based upon the meaning because most people don't know or care about the meaning. You should do it because you like the name and how it sounds. Congrats and good luck.

I really like the name Maylaya. I liked the other names, but Maylaya just catches my attention. I hope this helps you.

I've never heard of Maleaha before, I think it's a beautiful name.

Maleaha and Malaya are a tie for me, I like them both.
Any ideas on middle names?
