Help[Opinions] How would you spell these names?
I loved the zen-EYE-uh post and thought it could be turned into a little game and exploration into how people envision names!
How would you spell names with these pronunciations?
1. KIE-yuh
2. REE-uh-nuh
3. muh-LEE-uh
4. IE-lee
5. SEH-sin

Seeibg that some names end on -yuh, -nuh, I'm not going to attempt English transliterations. I'm a native Dutch speaker and seeing you're preferred pronunciations, for once a Dutch transcription would make sense. Here's what that could look like:
1. Kayeh
2. Rihunne (Riünne if you're insistent there should not je an h inbetween)
3. Melië
4. Illi
5. Cécin
Altering it to be more creative:
1. Kayye
2. Riunnuh
3. Meliye
4. Ieli (if the stress is one the first Sylla le, this would be the way tonwrite it "properly")
5. Césinne (French spelling variations to avoid the last syllable being pronounced nasally)

1. Kaia, Kaya
2. Riona (like Caitriona, Alastriona, etc.), maybe Riena? Riana would be ree-AH-na
3. Malia (I've also seen Meleah but that's rare)
4. Aili, Aylie, Aylee
5. Sesin, Cecin

1. Kaia
2. Rhiuhna? Re'uhna? (closest sounding names I think of would be Rhianna or Rena).
3. Maleah
4. Eily or Eiley (seen both and have no preference)
5. Sehsin? Sesan? (closest sounding names I can think of would be Cezanne or Susan).
It depends if I'm actually wanting a name to be pronounced that way or if I'm guessing a pre-existing spelling for something I heard. Like I'd guess Rhianna not Rhiuhna, but that's not how I'd say Rhianna or expect it to be pronounced.
