Mila, for a girl.

What image does the name conjure? (Aside from the actress) Like a girlie girl, tomboy etc

Kind or good. Not of!

In Russian, Mila means lovely, kind of good. I think it's very pretty but I might not if it wasn't for the meaning if that makes sense?!

Mila means darling in Czech and some other languages.

I love the name Mila.... it's on my middle names list (first name already picked) but my surname starts with an M so sounds a little silly. But think it is such a beautiful name :)

ScarletSienna · 15/07/2017 21:48

It doesn't conjure up any image or anything like that but I like the name. Only know one irl.

Montsti · 15/07/2017 21:45

I like it as long as it's pronounced Meal-a....

Thanks all.

Can I ask though... What kind of person do you picture with the name?

The other spelling ( Myla ) is the name of a well known brand of lingerie Blush

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/07/2017 08:25

I much prefer Talia.

2gorgeousboys · 13/07/2017 06:49

I know a two year old Myla, I wasn't sure about her name at first but love it now and it really suits her.

FluffyMcCloud · 13/07/2017 06:23

I like it but personally I would get frustrated with it being mispronounced all the time. She will get Mile-a a lot...

indigox · 12/07/2017 23:37

So overused here.

Sophronia · 12/07/2017 23:36

I'd assume the parents had named her after Mila Kunis.

grufallosfriend · 12/07/2017 22:34

I'd say Myla for Mila.

Like Milo.

TrainedGiant · 12/07/2017 21:42

I love it.

I wouldn't use a longer version as the longer versions are too similar to Melania Trump.

It's definitely in the running.

Along with Talia, Kara, and Lara.

It's so hard to pick girls names!

There was a programme on TV a few years ago about junior doctors and one of the girls was Mila, I think, so to me it conjures up a smart, caring person, maybe?

I love the name, and this was the first time I'd heard it (on the TV), so I added it to my favs, although didn't use it in the end!

BewareOfDragons · 12/07/2017 20:37

Me-Lana

Muh, sound, not me as in myself.

MrsJoyOdell · 12/07/2017 20:37

Mila is a beautiful name, I love it!

Mulch · 12/07/2017 20:35

Love it so refreshing from the Olivias, gracy-may, Lillies, arabellas ect

@BewareOfDragons

Is that said Me-Lana or Mil-anna?
