How would you pronounce Mila?

[erja]

Mee-la or my-la?

I always thought Mila Kunis pronounced it Miller, but must have been wrong. That's good because Meela sounds really pretty; Miller just reminds me of Windy Miller!

I’m also Ukrainian, it’s a quicker ‘me’ not ‘mee’ in Ukraine

I would have said it was my-la, just because Lila is usually pronounced Ly-la.

I've known both,

Weird your friend expects you to be psychic and know which pronunciation she's gone for!

Mee-la

Mee-la

I know 2 and both pronounce it like this

It's short for Milena. Pronounced me-la.

Me-la

I'd have pronounced in My-la before reading this post.

Me lah

Mill-a and miller would be pronounced very differently in Scotland.

I’ve never met anyone who says it my-lah.

I always get stung with Mia. I somehow always manage to opt for the incorrect pronunciation every time! My-ah/me-ah.

Mee-la

Otherwise I'd expect to see Myla.

Both lovely names, though.

To the poster re Laura: both LOR-ah and Lou-rah (the ou in ouch) are correct, the latter in Portugal and Italy I believe.

Meela, like Mila Kunis.

Mee-la

Your friend is going to have to get over herself and get used to correcting people

Meela, but I do prefer the My-la pronunciation.

Mee la
Your friend might want to change the dc's birth certificate if she really cares about this.

I'd have said Myla. In your defence though.
It seems like I'm in the minority.
She may want to think of something else unless she wants to go through her dds childhood throwing her rattle of her pram everytime her name is mispronounced, which will happen a a lot.

Or change the spelling to Myla to match the pronunciation

Meela.
But as a mother of mila it grates me all the mispronounciation she gets. Mil-la , my-la. Even though it’s in the top 100 names, it’s really not that well known of a name in the general public (especially older generation). It’s not a well known English name. But if you love it, use it!

Me-luh, as in Kunis.

Meela. Like Mila Kunis.

Meeela, like Mila Kunis.

Meela

Meela

Did she never hear any say Mila Kunis on TV?
