[Opinions] WDYTO Malia?

What do you mean, the "right" responses? It's an OPINIONS board, there are NO right responses!
I don't mind Malia, but I don't find the Maleah spelling attractive. Neither is outdated.
I don't really find any of the 'Lia' nicknames natural for Malia, since in my accent it's pronounced MAH-lee-uh. I'd use Mali (MAH-li) as a nickname if a nickname was necessary at all.

Jackie, calm down!
This constant shrieking and exclaiming is getting on everyone's nerves. You don't need to shout, and you don't need to finish every sentence with a dozen exclamation marks.
Please try to talk normally rather than sounding like a squeaky over-excited pre-teen. It really is irritating!

Thank you for responding to my post. (Yes there is text too :)
It's not constant, and when you're typing and trying to handel five other people's needs, all under the age of ten, IT AINT EASY!!!!!
Also, there is a family crisis right now, so I have a short temper. Sorry, Again.

I have looked after four children under the age of 10 many times (I have 5 younger siblings, and they have friends!) and I never used it as an excuse to behave like a 9-year-old. If you are finding life difficult, don't post!
By the way, who are the 4 children? Your siblings?

Please do not use netspeak.
There is a rule about this. Have you read the rules? We have many speakers who are not native English speakers. IT's difficult to read.

Malia is pretty
provided you're pronouncing it MAH-lee-uh. Having a sister named Leah, Maleah just looks to me like ma-LEE-uh. Bet I'm not the only one who sees it that way, either, though.
I like Malia better than Amalia. My personal choice is Mahalia.

It's not outdated at all--it sounds quite modern to me. I don't really like Malia (which looks like Molly-uh to me) or Maleah (which looks possessive in the vein of horrors like MyAngel to me). I would spell it Maliya, myself; that spelling makes the most sense to my eyes.
Mali or Leah/Lia/Liya/Lea would both be fine nicknames, but the name works quite well standing alone. I know a girl named Malia--she's two years ahead of me in college, IIRC--and she wears her name very well without a nickname. :)
It's not a name that appeals to me, but it is respectable enough.

"Yes," said Laura.
