How do you pronounce this girl's name?

Question

It's a Hawaiian name spelled Maile

Is it pronounced My-lee or May-lee. It's also my mom's maiden name but she pronounces it Mail like mail delivery. However, for a little girl's name I definitely wouldn't pronounce it that way so I was wondering what the traditional Hawaiian pronunciation is. Thanks!

Answer 1

my-lay

Answer 2

I would say May-lee,

but that just a guess.

sorry.

it's cute, though.

Answer 7

My friend's name is spelled Maille, and it's pronounced like Molly. But I'm not sure, it's probably not Hawaiian.

Answer 8

MY-LEE like miley cyrus. My friend from summer camp had this name. Its really quite beautiful. She is hawaiian and lived in Hawaii for many years. So I am sure that its My-Lee! I hope I helped.

Answer 9

May-lie like the word lie
