Sorry, I know I already asked about this name. But 50% who responded thought it was prounounced Ma-HALL-ia and 50% thought Ma-HAYL-ia, so now I'm more confused than ever. I know that Mahalia Jackson pronounced it the 2nd way.

1) When I look at the name and spelling, I would automatically pronounce it Ma-HALL-ia. Doesn't that make sense? And couldn't the nn be Molly?

2) Can you picture this name on a reddish-blonde, blue-eyed girl w/ freckles?

Thanks!
