Mia Donna ?

[hhhxxx]

Thoughts on the name Mia-Donna as one name? Or Mia then Donna for the middle name?

Donna is after my DH late mother who passed a few years ago ❤️

Also I want 'Me-A' and partner wants 'My-A' for 'My Donna'.

She would have been 50 this year so he's really feeling it 😢❤️

Bel Mooney's real first name is Beryl.
Mia Donna sounds like a pizza restaurant.

Snap MikeUniformMike (nice name btw)

Sounds like a budget Italian restaurant. Don’t do it

Thanks. I get mistaken for a man on here.
My pet, CharlieAlphaTango, was my inspiration.
I like the names Mia and Donna but not together.

Love it :)

How about Mia Bella Donna?

I'm not a fan.

If he wants "my-ah" as the pronunciation, it should be spelt Maya/Maia, which would get rid of the whole "my woman" thing anyway.

But if you're wanting Mia as in "mee-ah", perhaps giving her a longer form of the name would be better, and then you could shorten it to Mia (Amelia, Emilia, Miranda etc).

Lotsofplanets, ha, casa bevron

Both names fine but not together. But have Italians in my life who would be at Mia Donna.

Its nice he wants to honour his mum but Mia Donna is taking it too far in my eyes. I would either go with the My-a pronunciation but spell it Maia/Maya. Or add another middle name eg. Mia Jayne Donna to break it up.

Mia Farrow is really María de Lourdes Villiers Farrow.
Maria Donna known as Mia?
Maria Donna makes me think of Maradona.

Keep the Donna to honour his mum as it’s clearly important to him

But I would use a different first name

Did his mum have a favourite name that she never got to use? Or a middle name that would work?

I think one name to honour his mum is plenty.

It literally means “my woman” in Italian. Why would you do that to a child?!

How about Donna Maeve?

Or Emilia Donna?

Sounds very similar to maradonna!

It sounds terrible together, sorry

If having Donna as her middle name is important (and I totally respect that it is), then any name other than Bella would be better than Mia

I think Mia (me ah) is lovely. Donna as a middle and is fine. How many times are you going to call her by her full title anyway. I never use my middle name. Nor does anyone I know. I don't know most of my friends' middle names.

Don't. It's awful - I don't speak Italian and I know what it means.

Wasn't there an MN poster called Dawn Donna? Reminds me of her. Could you use Dawn as an alternative? It's very close in the way it sounds (but obviously different meaning). Somehow I think a single syllable name or name that doesn't end in -a works best if you want to use Donna.

Oh op.... because I commented on this post and so it keeps coming up on my 'I'm on' list I can't help but read the title and sing 'prima-donna girl... all I ever wanted was the world' sorry

Sounds like Maradonna

I think she will forever have people looking at her strangely when she says her full name and will have to explain to everyone why she is called 'my woman'. I don't think it'll be fair on her.

It's really quite terrible
