Sounds an awful lot like Marlene - as in Marlene Dietrich - to me.

I'd go with.......
Malayna
Purely because I like spelling names differently and I tend to go with how they look written.
i like the y in it as it looks good/different
My son is Bryce, I put the y in as I had seen it spelt Brice and thought it looked better with the y.
Malayna - Nice name BTW.

We have a girl at daycare with that name. Her parents spelt in Malena, just left out the R.
It is a lovely name!
