I have this name. I have a love-hate relationship with it. I like that it is unique but growing up, it was also annoying to correct people all the time. I often wish I was just named Molly.

In America 52 girls and 5 boys were named Mali in 2014.
My daughter's name is Mali. Pronunciation like ma-lee. In Thailand this name really cute for girl.

Molly only sounds like Mali if you have an American accent...

Mali is the name of an African country, but so is Chad. I think they both work well as names. Mali sounds like Molly but the spelling is prettier, and the Thai meaning is nice. I am thinking of using it myself.

Mali is a country in Africa. I would suggest going with either Molly or mollie instead, they're both very pretty and look more like actual names.
