[Opinions] WDYTO Mahalia?
I first heard this name, sadly, on the news in regards to a missing Wisconsin student who had this name. WDYTO it? I'm thinking it would be better for me as a MN, but for what? I've come up with Lily Mahalia, but that's it so far. Any ideas? TIA!

I know of it because of Mahalia Jackson, the singer, so it seems like a sassy, old-fashioned name for me. Works nicely as a mn with a short & sweet fn, I agree. BTW, I know a little girl named Macayla (yes, that spelling) and she went on vacation with some friends of the family. And one of the older women couldn't say Macayla for the life of her, and one of the names she kept insisting on calling her was Mahalia. LOL. Eventually, they convinced her to call her Mac. :b

I think it's a beautiful name, veryuncommon but still well-known because of the singer Mahalia Jackson. I would pronounce it Ma-Hail-Lee-a, fyi.Mahalia AmberMahalia DawnMahalia FayeMahalia JoyMahalia Rose

I have an ancestor named Mahala. She and her husband, Jasper are as far back as we have been able to trace. Mahala was French, and Jasper was Irish. I've always loved the name, though I tend to be more adventurous with my combos!
