It’s Mee-la - it’s a Russian/Balkan name and a diminutive of Ludmila (lood-mee-la)

IVEgotthePOWER · 23/07/2018 07:51

Miller makes me think Muller!

IVEgotthePOWER · 23/07/2018 07:49

Mee-la

Myla / Mylah is Myla

Frazzled2207 · 23/07/2018 07:48

Miller isn't nice at all

I know one from a Spanish background - pronounced Meela.

MiniDoofa · 22/07/2018 13:20

I know a Mila and the Mum pronounces it Mee-la but all the friends pronounce it Miller.

To OP asking if it's Ee-vuh or Ay-vuh... what about Ev-uh??

ooobisto · 22/07/2018 12:32

MIL-A. Never heard of Mee-la?!

flumpybear · 22/07/2018 11:18

I'd say mile - a

But it is whatever you chose it to be (within reason Wink)

ButtonOfSunshine · 22/07/2018 11:16

Also YY to this.
Another one here disliking the ‘mealy’ sound! I can’t stand Amelia either.
