Prefer Mahlia, like Obama's daughter (Mallie sounds a bit made-up -sorry)

I automatically think Sali Mali - but if you don't live anywhere near Wales, you should be fine.
I love the name Mary and the meaning of Mallie.

Don't like it.

And you'll spend your whole life telling people how to spell it......

I'm not overly keen tbh. Not sure why really, as DD is Mollie and I love that, and Mallie is not that different anyway.

It sounds completely made up or a nickname.

I have heard a few(am in Wales), I quite like it.

I like Mali and it would have been DD2 had my mother not used it for her dog. Don't really like Mallie though - it does look rather made up whereas Mali is a perfectly normal and acceptable name in Welsh.

WillbeanChariot · 25/01/2012 16:15

What mejon said. It looks like a made up spelling of Mali.

woolly76 · 25/01/2012 16:24

Love Mali though the downside is that if your not in wales people tend to pronounce it marley

sorry - it just sounds like a made-up word. People are going to ask what it's short for. And anything starting 'Mal' sounds like 'bad' to me- malicious, malfunction etc.Apart from Malcolm of course Smile

'O Malley the alley cat'.

Mella is nice and is another version of Mary afaik. Mali is also very nice.
