Is Mira (pronounced Meer-ra) too close to Mila (pronounced Mil-la)? They will be cousins (not siblings), just gathering opinions before we contemplate asking SIL!

I really didn't think of Myra. I know a Mira and she's lovely.

I'd go for it.

If you're in the uk you'll have people associate it with Myra hindley in afraid. Mila would be safer as different sound

YouWhatMate · 23/05/2017 01:52

No I do not think it's too close to Mila if it's just a cousin.

Nice name, OP.

@ProseccoBitch hey 👋🏼 Smile

muffinwaggon · 22/05/2017 23:37

I know it's not spelt the same before anyone points out my comment 😂 but that's what I instantly thought when I looked.

Waves at @muffinwaggon Smile

HerRoyalFattyness · 22/05/2017 23:36

I like Mira.

ProseccoBitch · 22/05/2017 23:36

Personally I'd say it's too similar to Myra (as in Hindley) but that might be my age talking.

muffinwaggon · 22/05/2017 23:35

Hindley

BridgetDarcy · 22/05/2017 23:34

I saw it and assumed it was pronounced Myra.....

Buntysoven · 22/05/2017 23:31
