I just met a little girl in our neighborhood who is Spanish-speaking. Her older brother speaks some English and I asked him what her name was and I think he said either "Mah-lee-ah-neeta" or "Mah-ree-ah-neeta." I didn't find anything like it in the data base. Does anyone know what it could be?

and the right pronunciation is [mah - reeah - NEE - tah].
