How would you pronounce it?

Me-la
Or
My-la

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

Same here.

Icklepup · 21/07/2018 19:17

Me-la

iris96 · 21/07/2018 19:19

I know somebody with this name, she pronounces it 'Meela'

SequinsOnEverything · 21/07/2018 19:20

Me-la

I really like it

Another one here disliking the ‘mealy’ sound! I can’t stand Amelia either.

I’ve always read it as My-la, which I don’t mind, but I know a few and they are all Mee-la.

flumpybear · 22/07/2018 11:18

I'd say mile - a

But it is whatever you chose it to be (within reason Wink)

ooobisto · 22/07/2018 12:32

I know two Mila's and they are both
MIL-A. Never heard of Mee-la?!

DiegoMadonna · 22/07/2018 13:18

To OP asking if it's Ee-vuh or Ay-vuh... what about Ev-uh??

MiniDoofa · 22/07/2018 13:20

I know a Mila and the Mum pronounces it Mee-la but all the friends pronounce it Miller.

Glumglowworm · 22/07/2018 15:52

I know two and both pronounce it that way

I know one from a Spanish background - pronounced Meela.

Miller isn't nice at all

IVEgotthePOWER · 23/07/2018 07:49

Mee-la

Myla / Mylah is Myla

IVEgotthePOWER · 23/07/2018 07:51

Miller makes me think Muller!

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 23/07/2018 07:53

It’s Mee-la - it’s a Russian/Balkan name and a diminutive of Ludmila (lood-mee-la)

Fivelittleduckies · 23/07/2018 07:55

Mill-A (miller)
