[Opinions] Re: Maialen
in reply to a message by overtheclouds
I'm not familiar with Basque names but this reads to me as "Maya" with "len" added on. The sound is pleasant but it did immediately make me think of "myelin sheath", the covering that "insulates" the "wiring" in our brains. It's not a negative association, and folks who haven't taken medical courses would probably never think of it. If I've got the pronunciation wrong, please enlighten me. :)
