Maëlle: sounds a bit insubstantial to me. 3/10
Maylis: the sound is okay, but the spelling doesn't appeal to me for some reason. 4/10
Maëlys: the name of one of the French exchange students that came to my old middle school. I've always thought it sounded interesting, but slightly villainous, like Maeve. 6/10
