Pronounced Ma hay lee a.

I have being thinking of it for ages, I have decided I really like it after thinking it was a bit too quirky at one point.

Any opinions on it gratefully received thanks.

It sounds like an African country crossed with a disease.

I know one. Now as a late teen she's known mostly as Hayley.

It's a pretty name, but very usual and she will spend a lot of time repeating and spelling it.

A witch in dying light?

I've never heard it before. Sounds "generically foreign" to me (sorry, that sounds twattish, not meant as such). It's very easily pronounced and sounds soft/pretty, I think.
