I've seen the name before, with a few pronunciations (including Mylie, which I think is the Hawaiian pron., as you mentioned), but on first glance I'd think may-lee, may-leh (like a very short A ending) or maw-lee (like Molly).
Former Hawaii resident here--in Hawaiian that name is pronounced My-ee-lay, with an emphasis on the middle syllable. It's fairly popular and there is a hotel in Waikiki by that name. I think it's a beautiful name. Jessie
I honestly read this as "mail" but I may just be naive. I do think with this spelling pronounciation will be an issue her whole life. Mylie is very easy to figure out! Mylie gets my vote.
I do prefer this spelling over Mylie, even though Mylie is more obvious in how it should be pronounced. Funny, I hadn't realized this was a Hawaiian name- I had thought it was French or something...
