What do people think? Only name both me and DH agree on liking but not sure if too associated with Miley Cyrus?

Not my cup of tea personally, but if you and DP agree you both like it, then it's perfect for you Smile

scentednappyhag · 28/05/2012 20:32

Sorry, DH* stupid eyesight!

tummytickler · 28/05/2012 20:38

I think it's horrible. Sorry.

lovemygirlivy · 28/05/2012 20:41

I personally don't like it - but if you and dh agree like it then go for it.
Marley is nice too.

Sorry, I immediately thought of Miley Cyrus - a name which was a mispronounciation of 'smiley' made by her when she was a child.

What about Myleene? Or Maia/Maiya/Maya? (pronounced may-yah)

nizlopi · 28/05/2012 21:13

Awful, just awful.

I can't actually think of words or sentences strong enough to show just how bad this name is. Please do not call your child this. It is stupid.

No.

ShowOfHands · 28/05/2012 21:13

I know a Mylea. It's, um, not great.

SecretNutellaFix · 28/05/2012 21:14

No.

Just No.

What is it about it that appeals to you?

GnocchiNineDoors · 28/05/2012 21:14

My first thought was "cyrus"

I do not like it.

If you like it, though, then it's your choice. At the end of the day, you have to call your child it, not us.

BonnieBumble · 28/05/2012 21:15

I think its actually quite pretty. I know a Thai lady called Mylee. If I saw it written down I would associate it with Asia rather than Miley Cyrus.

Littlefish · 28/05/2012 21:15

No. Don't do it.

EightiesChick · 28/05/2012 21:19

Looks like Myleene with the n missing. I wouldn't go for it either way.

scottishmummy · 28/05/2012 21:32

ghastly,I'd think mylene klass
Miley is nn, not her christened name

scentednappyhag · 28/05/2012 21:34

How about Mila? It's the same kind of sound?

thegreylady · 29/05/2012 08:18

Sorry.....I think it is horrible too

manicinsomniac · 29/05/2012 09:19

I'm not keen, personally.

I do quite like Macie/Macey or Maya/Maia or even Mira/Mila

I think it it's the combination of both the aye and the ee sounds that I don't like about Mylee/Miley

bronze · 29/05/2012 09:22

I thought I was a typo of mylene. Cyrus' real name is destiny hope. Myley is a nickname

I think it's pretty horrible. Especially when there are so many pretty and classic girls names around on these threads.

lisaro · 29/05/2012 15:53

Ugly and naff.

squoosh · 29/05/2012 16:01

I don't think of Mily Cyrus at all!

I do however think of Miley from Glenroe

Well, Holy God!

squoosh · 29/05/2012 16:01

That should have been 'Well Holy God Biddy'.

BelleTheBeatnik · 29/05/2012 16:05

It's not awful, just not to many people's taste. If you're going to get fed up with the Miley Cyrus connotations, I wouldn't, but if you both really want to use it, don't let the opinions of others put you off, because names are very, very subjective.

Whether a name is 'pretty' or not is a matter of opinion, and not everyone likes classic name! Grin

MoonHare · 29/05/2012 16:11

Not keen. It sounds made up and instantly brings the irritating Miley Cyrus to mind.

Doesn't really have any gravitas, what if she wants to be Prime Minister?

You may regret asking for opinions!! But if you and DH like it then no-one elses opinon really matters, I suppose at least this way you'll know what everyone is secretly thinking when you tell them...

Plunkett · 29/05/2012 18:54

Ha Ha, Miley/Mylee is out then. Didn't love it so good to know others reactions to it (hadn't read/posted in this forum before so didn't realise people had such strong opinions about names Grin ).

We have a 6 year old and between family, friends and mums &tot/nursery/school friends we've met along the way there's not a lot of names left.
