Comments for the name Maile

This name is pronounced MY-lee. (Rhyming with Kylie and Riley)

Pronunciation is MY-leh. My-lee is an abomination and needs to be struck from this record.

Well I have to say it's cool but starting to get way too common, be unique.

This name sounds okay, though not particularly exciting. I hope parents don't start using it as an alternate spelling of the "name" Miley.

How do you say it already. I have been dying to know ever since I read it in a book. The other user comments haven't been helpful; I wish someone name Maile would tell me how to say it! It is an interesting name, though...

I don't get where the idea that the Hawaiian e sound is equal to the English one comes from. It is NOT pronounced My-lee, people. Dante is Dan-tay, not Dan-tee, right? But to be fair, most English speakers have a hard time with the Hawaiian e. But if they actually attempted to pronounce it correctly it should come out My-leh or at least My-lay. The correct pronunciation is hard to explain but I'm just so sick of people who know nothing about the Hawaiian language insisting that it's pronounced like Miley. I adore the name Maile but HATE Miley.
