Met somebody with this name today, and I was struck by how beautiful it sounded. It is Swahili for angel. It is pronounced muh-LAY-kuh.
WDYT? Would Beatrix and Malaika be pretty together for sisters or weird? What about using it as a middle name for Beatrix (Beatrix Malaika)? Any combo ideas? I tend to like fairly old-fashioned names...
