Milena

[Flowerface]

After Milena Jesenska (sp), Kafka's confident and generally amazing woman. I love it but:

Is it too pretentious given that we are not in any way Czech?

Will everyone call her Milly (which sounds truly ridiculous with our surname)?

It's actually spelt melaena and pronounced very similarly to milena so no way would j use it, sorry

I think it's lovely pronounced the way smalltownshame describes.

DD's nn is Lena (pn Ley-na).

No it's not a mee sound first

Sorry I was talking about the pronunciation of melaena not milena!
Confusing. It is lovely but I wouldnt use it for that reason.

Really like it, I used to know a Milena, think she was Italianish, certainly don't think bloody poo!

I like Milena. Deffo was a consideration for DC3. He's a boy tho.

I had a great aunt Milena (Italian.) Mila is the Russian nickname too, I think, thats very pretty.
