you didn't find MALU in the database because that's not a name. In spanish we have a greek word for that: "hipocorístico", that means smoething like "nick name", "affectionate name" or "by name".
As you could see, Magia and Andy are agreed with the definition, but one of them said "Mary + Lucía", the other said "Mary + Luoise" and In could say "Mary + Lucrecia". And the three are right. That is because there is no rules for this kind of names. Thanks.
