Well yeah ... since the e is unstressed, it becomes just an "uh" in my accent so, it sounds like I'm saying muh-linda. A lot like Michelle sounds like muh-Shell, and Mackenzie sounds like muh-Kenzie.
But the attempted pronunciation, the one I think I'm aiming for, is mel(like bell)-linda.
If I were being silly and mixing up the syllables, I would say lin-MEL-da. Not lin-MUL-da or lin-MAL-da, and definitely not lin-MEEL-da.
