I'm not to sure if this is 100% correct, because i taught my self how to read and right korean hangul. it would be something like this 메로니. It would be pronounced as Maelonie. The l in your name with be pronounced as an "lr" sound, if that makes sense. Hope this helped.

Close, but a ㄹ between vowels takes on a flicked "r" sound (similar to the Spanish flicked "r") instead of an "l" sound. The usual workaround for this is to use two ㄹ consonants in a row which makes an "l" sound instead, so something like 멜로니 would probably work better (assuming that is a long "o" in your name, not a short "o" sound). The English pronunciation of that would be somewhat like: mel-lo-nee
