And I thought I had things bad. Thank you for the perspective.
When I have a son I'm going to name him Marieaux.
How about Phlopp?
I see more issues with 2 and 5 than 6 and 9
That's the point, BJ. If you're going to go with the alternate spellings, go big or go home. Had it been "EmmaLee" I would have given it a thumbs down. But Mle ... well, that's just ridiculous enough to work.
Also, Marieaux and Phlopp are both solid. I'm kicking myself for not including an "eau" construction. And everyone knows I'm a sucker for a superfluous consonant.
I previously though Mle was an alternate spelling for "Millie."
This is a much more sophisticated process than mere vowel excision, Crmnts. Try to keep up.

I just rememberedd a (former?) reader who goes by "Maulleigh."
