Dilemma - Georgia & Mila

19 replies

heartoftheocean · 11/03/2019 11:19

Recently grown to like both Georgia and Mila. My old favourite Matilda is still in the back of my mind but feel reluctant to use now for some reason.
I would quite like to use both Georgia and Mila but how can I combine them as first and middle name without them sounding silly?
Georgia Mila? Mila Georgia? Mila Georgie?

Or do I go back to my old faithful Matilda? Ahhhhh. So hard to decide.

daisypond · 11/03/2019 13:40

I really dislike Georgia, so I would put Mila first.

Love Georgia would definitely use it.

Mila and Georgia both nicer than Matilda but obviously don't on the go well together.

I dislike any 'mealy' sounding names like Amelia and Mila. They sound really ugly to me. I also think of those white spots on the skin (milia?) when I read Mila. Sorry!

I prefer Georgia because it’s more of a traditional name that isn’t trendy or will date like Mila. However perhaps you could pick a longer form for Mila...eg Amelia/Camilla

Matilda is also nice

Deletemyname30 · 11/03/2019 16:41

Sorry I really dislike Mathilda, I don't understand why it's so popular.

I find Georgia a very harsh name,nothing pretty about it.
Mila is a gorgeous name

Easterbunnyiscomingsoon · 11/03/2019 16:45

Reminds me of George and Mildred sorry!!

Sophronia · 11/03/2019 19:21

I don’t like Georgia or Mila, especially Mila which is trendy and will date.

I do like Matilda.

MontyBowJangles · 11/03/2019 19:23

Just pick the one you like best when the baby is here, and which suits her best.

You can always keep the other one for a future daughter (or pet!).

whitehalleve · 11/03/2019 19:29

I like them both but not together

heartoftheocean · 11/03/2019 19:57

Very mixed bag of responses.
Im finding it hard as like to have a certain name during pregnancy before baby is born. So I really need a definitive settled in my mind.

My vote goes to Mila in that caseSmile

Hoolahoophop · 11/03/2019 20:15

I vote Mila, very pretty. But the one I know. Shortened from Camilla is a proper bruiser!

Shadow1234 · 11/03/2019 20:31

Prefer Georgia

Tillygetsit · 11/03/2019 23:06

Dislike Mila. Just the sound of it, a bit whiny. Sorry! Love Georgia.
