the same sound of Mylee out of
Maile. It looks like either mail (male) or MAY-lee, and the latter's a stretch for me. The nearest similar name I can think of is
Maite /
Mayte, but that ends in long A (as in day).
I once met a set of biracial twin girls named
Ebony and
Ivory; they were beautiful little girls, with caramel-colored skin and green eyes (father was white, mother black). I've also met blacks, both male and female, named
Ivory. I can't say I've met a white girl named
Ebony, but I don't think it would be so out of place, particularly on a child with very black hair.
Out of curiosity, what makes you say Mylee is Hawaiian?
Edit to clarify: I ask because I don't see Mylee and
Maile being related, and I am uncertain of the correct pronunciation of
Maile. Mylee to me seems a tryndee kre8tion more than a real name.
