Pregnant with my 3rd, always loved the name Mila, unsure if to do Amelia and just call her Mila or considering we wouldn’t actually call her Amelia just go for Mila. Other name suggestions welcome x

Amelia is one of my most favourite girls names. Also Alice.

Not so fussed on Mila. My friend has a daughter called Melia.

I don't like Mila or Amelia but if you're only ever going to call her Mila register her as Mila. I wouldn't have made any connection between the two names.

I know a Mila. Not short for anything but doesn’t stop some people in the office from calling her Amelia!

If you never plan to call her anything but Mila call her Mila.

How to you pronounce it? I dislike Myle-a pronunciation, but I love Mee-la and Mill-a

This was my thought too. Yes I would pronounce it as in Mee-La
