Thoughts on the name Mila

What do you think of when you hear the name Mila (mee-la)? Is it very overused/popular at the moment?

I like it but I hear others mispronounce as Miller which I really do not like.

If you really like it I would go with Meela

The mispronounciation thing actually doesn’t bother me. I like the name Myla too and I think once you correct people once they get used to it.

My husband has a very normal name and still finds people mispronounce it all the time!

I think Kunis. And she's absolutely beautiful so that's not a bad thing.
Would it bother you if it was occasionally mispronounced Myla though?

It’s my maternal Grandmother’s name.
