[Opinions] Maelyn
My brother and his wife just had their second daughter!!!
Maelyn Irene, little sister to Ashlyn JonesWDYT of these names???I HATED Maelyn at first, but loved Irene
However, Maelyn is REALLY growing on me!I like how the name is used in an honoring way.
My sister-in-laws fathers side came from Malin Head in Ireland
So her name is a variation of that.After doing some research I discovered this:"The village name itself pays homage to the Catholic Saint Mary Magdalene, Malin being a medieval diminutive combination of the names Mary and Magdalene. This displays the effectiveness of Saint Patrick’s missionary legacy, spreading Catholicism throughout the whole of Ireland."
