Comment left Oct 02, 2009: "My name is Mahlon and I to have had to deal with the issues of mispronunciation and the varied meaning that has been said that the name possesses. I am a Jr. but the third in the family and I plan to name my son Mahlon IV" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 26, 2009: "I'm 10weeks away from giving birth to our son, and his name is already Mahlon. We picked it because we initially liked "Marley" but I wanted a stronger sounding boys name and I think Mahlon fits that well. I can't wait. I love the name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 10, 2009: "Mahlon is the name of my husband. he was born in 1966. his mother and father picked the name from the bible. If we ever have a daughter I intend to pass his name down to her, with a slight variation, her name will be Mahloni!!! he does not like his name, mainly because noone can ever pronounce it correctly. I love his name!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 05, 2009: "I am a Mahlon as well ... the third actually. My father (Jr) actually married my mom whose name is Ruth. Just as it is in the Bible. After Mahlon dies in the Bible she marries Boaz so my dad always said if someone moves in our neighborhood named Boaz we're getting the hell out of here. But i love my name. 24 years of mispronunciations hasn't bothered me one bit and i plan to make my first born son the fourth. Never heard it as a girls name though so that is interesting. Most people that hear my name before they meet me either think im a girl or asian though lol. oh and one more thing ... chicks totally dig it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 30, 2009: "My grandpas middle name was Mahlon RIP grandpa, but that is the name he went by since he didn't like his first name which was Clarence. I always liked it because it was rare. He told me when I was small it was from the book of Ruth. All of his friends called him that and his mail came with that name on it with his last name. Mahlon is a unique name and will always hold a special place in my heart since that is where my grandpa stays with me." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 08, 2009: "My name is Mahlon, and I am a girl. It is pronounced 'Maylen' or 'Maelin,' not as sperate may-lin, but it flows together. Mahlon was my great-grandfather's middle name, and then my became my mother's middle before she named me. Mahlon is also in the bible, under Ruth. Mahlon is one of Naomi's sons who is killed. When I was younger I disliked my name because EVERYONE miss pronounced it! But now I feel original and unique, and when I one day have my own children, I hope I can find a name that is just as special!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 14, 2009: "It's a family name in my family. As a matter of fact, the person commenting Jul 20, 2008 and saying his father's name is Maylon is probably a relative of mine, since that is how my grandfather's name was spelled (is that you Uncle Jack?)." (Report as inappropriate)

They were boating with a friend off the coast of South Carolina with another friend and the boat sank. They were adrift with only a log for 9 hours.Capt. Mahlon Hudgins came along and saw them in the dark and took them home to our beach house. Mama and Daddy married a few years later. They named their 1st child after him! It was written up in the paper, and I knew Capt. Hudgins (aka "MayMay")as a child. I love my name!!!" (Report as inappropriate)

While there are a few individuals with the name they are far and few between, even fewer females with the name. Unfortunately, it is often spoken by unfamilar people as 'Muh-lawn' or 'Mae-lawn'."
