We live in France and DH is dead keen on Maelys for our daughter (Mah-eh-lys), a Breton name. I'm not so sure it works in English. What do think??? Thanks!

Yes indeed LetThemEatCake! Malice indeed. I hadn't thought of that!!!
I love the idea of My-elise pronunication. So easy to explain!
I also like Maelys with Elisabeth as a second name. I had thought about it ... but wondered if might be a bit of a mouthful - both being rather long names. But maybe not.
What else might go well with Maelys? Any other suggestions? What do you think?
