Mila (as a full name) ?

[jennythebest]

I really like this name and curious about other people's opinions? i would pronounce it Mee la.

Do you think it is fine as a stand alone name or will people presume she is Amelia or Camila etc?

Too celeb-ish for me due to Mila Kunis.

Camilla has 2 Ls. If you like Mila then it's fine. Sounds a bit like Mealy.

I taught a little girl called Mila (her full name ) and she was a sweet girl. It isn't my taste in names but I think you should do it

I like it!

I think it's quite popular at the moment. I like it too! Yes, mee-la

I like it and it's certainly popular at the moment. Often seems to get pronounced 'miller' so as long as you can live with that, it's all good.

I like it. My hairdresser's little girl is Mila. I'd not heard of it till she told me her DDs name but I think it's lovely. Don't think there should be a problem with people assuming it's short for anything.

I know a Mila and I really like the name. Pronounced My-la

It used to be a popular name in Poland My maternal Grandma's name is Mila

Love it!

I really like it - would pronounce it Mee-la too

Mi la.
Pronounced as in Camilla.
Nice.

There is a little girl up my sons school called Mila, very cute IMO

I think Mila (pn Mee-la) is a lovely name. I was going to call my daughter that right up to last few weeks of my pregnancy but decided on Maia (pn My-ah) in the end. I also really liked the spelling Milla but thought she'd end up getting Mill-ah so didn't want to go with that. I think it's a lovely choice and def fine as a stand alone name.

Why wouldn't it be a full name? Def a name in it's own right and growing in popularity (number 79 in the UK in 2015). I know a little Mila and the name has definitely grown on me, pronounced miller though

I love it. It was on our shortlist for DD2. We also considered Milena with Mila (mee-la) as a nickname, but it's definitely used as a full name.

I know a little Mila, pn mee-la. She's very cute. Lovely name.

Mila's nice. Yes, I'd instinctively pronounce it MEE-la.

Am in love with this name, & was my choice for a girls name. Wasn't to be as had a little boy & he will be my last, so I think you should use it in honour of me not being able to

jon, it's looking like i will

I love it! I know 2, both it's their full name and both pronounced Mee-la (one is a teen, the other a toddler)
