Re: MALISHA
I have a hard time seeing anything but "malicious" in this name. (English "malice" comes from Latin malitia.) 8-OI hope she pronounces it differently...

Yes, but why would anyone name his child "malicious"?

Hopefully, it is from another language source, with a positive meaning.But, if an unfortunate pronunciation, she will sound like a villainess from James Bond or "Sleeping Beauty," when she says, "Hi, I'm Malisha," to a bunch of Anglophones.PS: I've heard that Pussy is a common [nick?]name in Europe, but it would still raise some eyebrows here. So would Fanny, in Australia (I'm told).PPS: How DO you pronounce this name?

She pronounces her name [meh-lee-sha] with the stress on the second syllable (short e), I was told.
