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?

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!
