This is the provisional name DP and I have picked for DD2, due in Feb. Any opinions?
Sounds like a new yoghurt.

Is it pn Myla or Meela? Like Hazel.
I think (sorry) that practically everyone will pronounce it Myla.

I just said Myla Hazel in my head. Actually prefer Myla. Think Hazel is lovely.

Are you thinking Milla Jovovich because the full length of the name, Milica, is really pretty. I'm not sure about Myla because it just makes me think of over priced 'bedroom accessories' after the shop!

I think having a H- name after a name ending in a vowel doesn't really work tbh, and I also think middle names sound better if they have a different number of syllables to the first name. So for eg I think Mila Jean or Mila Verity or Mila Rosalind trip off the tongue better.
But that is just my opinion, and both names are very pretty.

I thought it was pronounced miller. I think she will have a lifetime of mispronounciations and having to spell it. I like Hazel though

I think Mila is very cute, and has a nice meaning in Slavic languages - dear or beloved.

I'd pronounce it Mee-la and really like it! People will get used the preferred pronounciation.

It's my nieces name, and it is pronounced like miller. My niece is absolutely gorgeous but personally I think it's a bit of a truncated name, and would be better as a shortening for Camilla or any of the Slavic "mila' names, Emilia, Ludmila etc. There are quite a few Arabic names that end in mila too.

I have a 2 daughter called Milla (pronounced meela) so obviously I love it.
We have always had really good comments about it.
It does sometimes get pronounced miller sometimes which bugs me a bit and I did wonder of i should have only used 1 L and gone with your spelling to prevent this, butI guess then we would have got the myla pronounciation instead.
People very quickly learn the correct pronounciation.
Have only ever met one other little girl with the same name and she was gorgeous too! Bizaarly her sister has the samwe name as Milla's twin!
