@Applesandbananas: I don't know. Nameberry just says it's a variation of Melanie.

@Applesandbananas: I would assume May-lani, like Leilani with an M?
Not my style either, but I think it's cute. Maybe thats just because I have a soft spot for Snooki and Jwoww.

@loveisstrange: that's what I was thinking.
It's one of those super - feminine - kinda exotic, but not really names that are uber popular. Pretty name, but isn't on my radar.

That is the name of LO's teacher at swim school! She pronounces it may-lani.
Better name than I expected although not my style.

I assumed it was a weird spelling of malinia since that is Italian?

@loveisstrange: I think it's pretty but I wouldn't pick it. I'm hyper sensitive to misspellings/mispronunciations since no one EVER spells my name correctly or pronounces it correctly.

It is pronounced May-lani. It is a common name in Hawaiian. I wonder how they picked it!

I've never heard of anyone named this, Hawaiian or otherwise. Interesting choice. I did find this on babycenter just through google:
Meilani means "Heavenly Beauty".....
Mei (origin: Chinese; meaning: Beautiful).....
Lani (origin: Hawaiian; meaning: Heaven; Heavenly
