Milena for a girl?

We want something slightly unusual but not weird. I like the name Milena partly because it can be abbreviated to Millie. My hesitation is that we're fairly British as a family, our son has a Hebrew name so we're not averse to 'foreign' sounding names, but just wondering what opinions or thoughts or reactions you lovely and honest mumsnetters have to this name?

Honestly, working in a medical background, this was my first thought....

I thought of the coil too, straight away. Sorry, OP!

I thought of mirena (coil)
But that may just be because I have one. Children wont

Sorry if that makes no sense. I'm heavily heavily pregnant and my brain is all melty!
