I like Melia, but I prefer Amelia as a name that sounds like it because I would pronounce Melia as "MEE-lee-a". If I was interested in the meaning, I much prefer Melia to Ashley (also has "ash tree" in the meaning).

I like it. It reminds me of other names that mean "honey". I like the pronunciation MEE-lee-ah.

How are you pronouncing it?

Ma-lee-ah. If this isn't right or there are other ways, please let me know.

My first inclination...
Would be MEH-lee-ah, and after that, MEEL-yah. I assume you're saying it the same way one would say Maliya or Maleah?
I really dislike it, in that case. I do like it pronounced MEH-lee-ah, though.

I'd think it was like Amelia without the ah, myself...mee-lee-yah or somewhat close.

ditto.

Ditto Array's pronunciation
My first thought would be MEH-lee-ah, and then possibly meh-LEE-ah. I could probably force myself to read it as MEEL-ee-ah (like Amelia without the "A"), but it's definitely not an intuitive pronunciation to me.
I don't really care for the name with any pronunciation, but it's not bad pronounced MEH-lee-ah.
