Surname will be Jones.

Or if anyone has some suggestions I would love to hear them. Such a difficult decision

Mila Beth is lovely as is Mila Kate. I agree with PP that a longer middle name would work well but if you are set on a one syllable

Mila Tess
Mila Bea
Mila Joy
Mila Quinn
Mila Ruth
Mila Lane
Mila Brooke

Mila Beth is cute too!

Like pps, as Grace is v popular as a middle name and as Mila is having a bit of a moment, together they are a bit blah.

Mila is lovely though and so is Grace, so if you don't mind the popularity, then go for it.

Some nice suggestions above^^.

Also:

Mila Catherine
Mila Genevieve
Mila Sophia
Mila Rebecca
Mila Gabrielle
Mila Hermione
Mila Penelope
Mila Felicity

I quite like it with a longer middle name for some reason. But if you prefer a single syllable middle name then:

Mila Faye
Mila Blythe
Mila Kate

@Scarby9 I really like Mila Rose but again I think Rose is quite a popular name now. My cousins daughter's middle name is Rose to. Hmm!!

I saw Mila Beth online which I quite liked.

I like Mila but I also prefer Myla pronounced differently. I hate the name grace it's so dull.

Scarby9 · 13/08/2020 14:16

Is Mila common? Not where I am, it isn't - I have not heard ofa single one.
So many middle names would go with Mila.
Grace sounds beautiful with it, so you could just stick with your first choice.
Otherwise, maybe:
Mila Hope
Mila Joy
Mila Bliss
Mila Faith
...if you like virtue names.
Or:
Mila Loren
Mila Seren
Mila Jean
Mila Rose

If you love it, use it, but I'm not keen.
I would use a stronger middle name. Grace is lovely but it's a filler middle name, as is Rose, and a bit dull especially with an ordinary surname.

It would be pronounced as Me-la .

A lady I know (not close) named her daughter the same but spelt as Meelah instead and I just fell in love with it.

Is Mila Me-la or My-la?

It seems to be a bit samey with all the Mia, Lila, Maya, Mya names that are around.

Grace is very popular middle name and Jones is a common surname, so she could end up with friends called Mia Jones and Lila Grace Jones.

I agree @Change17 , bit too much isn't it but I do really love it. Any suggestions on middle names anyone ? I decided to use an online generator but the suggestions were ridiculous 🙈😆

I think they’re both lovely names but they’re both just so popular at the moment. You’ve combined two of the most common names.

I do love Mila though so my suggestion would be to keep that and use a slightly less popular middle name.
