Re: Malika or Amira?
in reply to a message by Felie
Interesting that you would ask because just recently I met a little Melike and I thought about this name and its variants :) Melike was pronounced MELL-lih-keh which was surprising to me because in my head I always pronounced it meh-LEE-keh. I like MELL-ih-keh better though.
I don't like Malika that much, I think I prefer Melike. Melike means queen too but it makes me think of honey because of its similarity to Melissa and Melina which have that meaning.
Amira is cute! I prefer Melike over Amira but Amira over Malika! So I choose Amira. I would definitely stick with this spelling. I also prefer the meaning priness over queen. Maybe because princesses are usually portrayed as sweet, caring and lovely whereas queens are often portrayed as mean, power hungry and rough.
