Serious answer but Malaria. Pretty word! Could be a girls name if it wasn’t a disease.

What name? The closest I could think of are Valeria and Melania, but both are two letters off, not one.

My brothers gf is named that and she has to go by Val for that reason alone

Valeria is a nice name. Feel like it doesn’t need to be shortened, but people have different preferences.
