Maelona and Rhiannon
I was thinking of a name that would go with Rhiannon as a twinset, and I just couldn't find one that I liked at this database, so I explored farther. I came across one, Maelona, which means "Divine Princess" (I submitted it, FYI). It's pronounced mae-LOH-nah, and I thought it was sweet. So what do you think of Rhiannon and Maelona? Are there any combos that you like that come to mind?

Rhiannon is nice, but I'm not a fan of Maelona, sorry.The stressed, long "o" sound is rarely a favorite for me, so Maelona is already starting out in a hole. But my real objection is that it looks made-up. I'm not saying it is made up and yes, all names were made-up at some point. But next to timeless Rhiannon it looks completely out classed.Could I interest you in Rhiannon and Morna?

Maelona kind of reminds me of melanoma, skin cancer. It is pretty though.
I really like Rhiannon!

Oh, that's lovely! Though, quick question - is the "mae" syllable pronounced more like "mye" or "may" (I've heard "mae" pronounced both ways)?Maelona and Rhiannon make a very pretty twinset - they fit and flow together very well. And "Divine Princess" is a gorgeous meaning ^-^

I think it's supposed to be pronounced like 'may'. I'm not sure...
