My husbands ex- sister in law just named her baby girl this. It just reminds me of Melee, hand to hand combat.

    Lol. For some reason, I think it's kinda cute...for an infant. Good God, the poor child is going to be an adult "Mayleigh". Ugh.

    makes me think of someone who is trying to name their kid after miley cyrus, but wants to be unique. i don't like it at all.

    I had a couple of classes with a girl named Mailey.  She always introduced herself as "Mailey.  Like Bailey with an M."  I don't think the name is attractive at all.

    Yeah, this. Plus, I'm not a fan of any name with "leigh." Just seems such a long, unnecessarily awkward way to spell "ly" or "lie."  I know someone recently who named her daughter Marleigh...not a fan...

    I know a Mai Lee, who is Asian. This sounds kind of like a bastardization of that name.

    Blah... totally agree it's unnecessary lettering! Recently I've heard Brynleigh, Raeleigh (holy freakin' vowels), and Ryleigh.

    In most Asian languages, May is pronounced "my."

    I also know a Mai (fn) Lee (ln)!

    My h is going to be so disappointed that I didn't think to do that with Molly's name.

    But seriously that is atrocious. I couldn't even type Molleigh without cringing and I knew it was a joke.
