My-la

dinosaurkisses · 21/07/2018 16:52

It’s one of those names that if I saw it written down, I’d try and wait until someone else said it before guessing!

Same with Eva - is it Ee-va or A-va?

I always said
My-la
Until someone I know used the name and turns out it's
Me-la

Cosmoa · 21/07/2018 17:47

As there is a famous Mila (Kunis) I think the majority would be Me-la

It’s usually Mee-la but I prefer My-la

missmouse101 · 21/07/2018 18:13

Meela. Dislike the 'mealy' sound in names such as this and Amelia.

fearfultrill · 21/07/2018 18:26

Me-la

MikeUniformMike · 21/07/2018 18:44

Meela. Don't like it or Myla.

donkey86 · 21/07/2018 18:45

I read it as my-la, though I see I’m in the minority so perhaps wrong.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/07/2018 18:47

100% Mee-la.
