My somewhat odd dream involved me having a daughter I called My-Lee (prn) and it got me thinking how I would spell it... I'm not really considering it as a name but it has me confused!

Milee
Mailee
Mylee
Meilee
Myley
Miley
Mailey
Mailea
Milea
Mylea
Maihleigh (lol)


Would the hyphen look better??
Mai-Lee
Mi-Lee
My-Lee
Mai-Leigh
Mi-Leigh
My-Leigh

Help?

I believe the proper spelling is Maile. It's a Hawaiian name and the meaning has something to do with leis. Anyway, I think it's a beautiful name and I would definitely spell it Maile. :)

Maile is a leaf :] it symbolizes a new beginning.

thirded.

although if it's an existent name in some language (like hawaiian) you could consider using that.

Miley.

The hyphen looks incredibly stupid and trendy.

I agree, I think Miley is the best spelling

Miley reminds me of Miles, looks like it's short for something and I associate it with the word "mile".

Miley. Isn't that an actress/character on the Disney channel? Miley Cyrus?

Most of those spellings are ridiculous, especially the hyphenated ones.
