I think Mila (just one "l") is a nickname for Miloslava which is Czech and short for Milica (Serbian) so I don't like it as a full name, but as a nickname it is ok.

Francesca is a fabulous name for a girl and Frankie is a great nickname. So unless you are Czech or Serbian and will use the full name, I would go for Francesca for sure.

I think they each conjure up a different personality.

Milla to me sounds calm, feminine.

Frankie sounds funky, energetic.

How about waiting until your baby arrives and maybe she'll decide this for you!

Mila is short for the Spanish name milagros which means miracles.

I love frankie for a girl. You don't mention if you are haing a boy, a girl or a surprise.

Milla is beautiful, there is a little girl at DS playgroup called Milla Rose and everytime her Mum says her name I can not believe how lovely it keeps sounding.Frankie okish but not in the same league as Milla.

Milla is a lovely name. She could have the nn Mimi Smile

Frankie - not so much (although I do like Francesca)

Frankie is a short form of Francesca ,but I would love have on birth certificate Frankie anyway,if possible. Milla is not short form of any name,it's Serbian name.

I love Frankie for Francesca

Milla is what DD1 is called by her cousin (name is Amelia!) so that is lovely as a name in it's own right too.

Hmmm, sorry no help and a pointless post Smile

Is Frankie short for Francesca? I love this. But Grin is Milla, just Milla or Camilla or Milena?, again all of which I love. I realise I'm no help - but they are lovely names.

I think Milla is lovely :)
