Do you think this baby name is weird?

I have a friend and her name is Alexandra and her husband's name is Mason so they named their baby Malandra because it is a combination of their names. Do you like the name Malandra?

Do you think this baby name is weird?
I know there are so many haters but i like the name malandra, i dont think it sounds like malaria or any other disease. to me it sounds really exotic and beutiful. I think that if they really like the name they should go for it, because its really pretty, and its their baby so its their choice. Also, i can think of a ton of good nicknames for malandra, for example, mala, andrea, andra, ann, malena(like elena with an m), mel, Mel-anne..... yeah, i hope i helped, good uck to your friend!!!!

Reply:I'm going to agree with what someone wrote earlier...it sounds like a disease!! Children are already harsh with other's names...this one will definately gets it's share of criticisim.
Reply:Yeh i think its a cute name !!





but when the baby gets older and if she doesnt like her name she could just be called andra
Reply:Its a really bad attempt at trying to be different. And now she sounds like a disease.
Reply:Anything that starts with "Mal" sounds bad -- think of Malfoy Draco in the Harry Potter books. "Mal" is a Latin prefix that means "bad," so psychologically they're setting up that kid for failure.
Reply:hmm i dunoo, Mason can be a girls name now adays, Macen, Masyn nickname Masy/Macey





Why dont they give the kid its own name?
Reply:I don't like it
Reply:i like it! Its different and unique and the baby is different from the common names
Reply:I think it is unusal not weird!


most people don't get called by the full name if it is long anyway, so if it is a boy it could be known as


Mal or Andy


and if it is a girl perhaps


may or Lani!


i like it!
Reply:That's bad, really really bad.
Reply:I'm not a huge fan of Malandra, but I've heard ALOT worse. I think if I knew somebody named that, it would eventually grow on me. But I wouldn't choose that name in a million years.
Reply:it's cute and also have meaning
Reply:Well, even though it sounds a lot like Malaria, i think that Malandra is a nice name. I have never heard of anything like it and its different. I like different. Malandra fits.
Reply:I don't really like it...no.
Reply:I personally dont like it
Reply:ITS CUTE BUT. . . .. . . I'M GLAD ITS NOT MY NAME (lol) .... SORRY BUT I THINK THAT THEY COULD HAVE COME UP WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT... MAYBE YOU WILL GROW TO LOVE IT . . . :0)
Reply:No, but then again, it's not my child.
Reply:it's ok there are some better names but it's good
Reply:No MALANDRA that sounds like a disease.
Reply:It's different...and different is good
Reply:I like it! What the hell... are people supposed to just keep using the names Emily, Madison, Jacob or Dylan to keep all the boring, unimaginative people happy?
Reply:We are naming our little girl Alexandra and Mason is a nice name but I also agree with the girl/woman who said that it sounds like a disease (too close to Malaria maybe?). Anyway, it's their choice but I think they could find a better unique name.
Reply:Yes thats terrible, my daughters name is Alexandra.
Reply:its kinda like a Kath%26amp;Kim name dont you think
Reply:i dont liike it but it would be better to be malaxandra.
Reply:To be a bit blunt- yes, I think its awful. That baby girl doesn't need a name that sounds so close to Salamander.





She needs her own unique name- not a combination of her parents. She's her own person, isn't she?
Reply:no they could have done better.


like Massandra. still a bit crazy but it sounds better than Malandra.
Reply:It reminds me of malaria and according to Behind The Name it means 'naughty' and 'rascal' in Portuguese. Not a name I'd like to have.
Reply:I have heard of the name Malandra before. There is an actress called Malandra on British Television. However, in answer to your question, yes its an okay name. I don't really think that it really matters if I, you or anyone else likes it though. It's lovely that your friends thought of it like that. Good luck to them and if they are happy with the name then you, as a friend, should be happy for them.
Reply:i like it
Reply:No no no! Thats really bad!
