pronounced NER-mah-lah. What do you think? (female, of course)

I personally like to imagine it pronounced ner-MAHL-ah better, but NER-mah-lah isn't *too* awful. Definitely not a name I'd choose, though.

Not very attractive sounding, imo. Makes me think of Nermal, the little cat from the Garfield comics. :-/

Nirmala isn't appealing to me at all. I think that Malia (MAH-lee-a) is ok though. I'm not very fond of it when it's pronounced ma-LEE-a.
