Mila and ???

23 replies

KloppageTime · 15/12/2019 15:34

Hi all, first time poster here! We have a DD called Mila (pronounced Meela - not Miler!).

We're expecting a boy but having trouble finding/agreeing on names. (We must have had about a dozen girls names that we both liked.)

What do you think of our current top two?
Max (my choice)
Luca (wife's choice)

Others for consideration:
Mylo/Milo
Lucas (I prefer this to Luca)
Asher
Asa (pronounced Acer)

We are both of Indian heritage but would like a western/European name that still works for us - but this is much easier to do with girl's than boys!

Do you have any other suggestions? We would also like a name that sounds good with Mila when talking about them both together.

Thank you

I wouldn't put milo or mylo with Mila.

Lucas is better than Luca I think because the ending is slightly different to Mila.

Max is nice.

Not keen on Asher. Asa is ok.

Agree - I really like Milo on it's own but it's probably too similar to Mila! (And would maybe only work if they were twins!)

Max is my favourite followed by Luca then Asa

I know a brother and sister called Mila and Max- I think they go together wonderfully.
Luca is ok but I’m not keen on any of your other picks.

EllenRipley · 15/12/2019 18:28

I really like Asher! I've always liked the name Arlo.

miahadalittlelamb · 15/12/2019 19:08

Luca goes best with Mila

MrsNoMopp · 15/12/2019 19:22

I like Asha, then Luca.

tamarisk44 · 15/12/2019 19:37

I prefer Luca with Mila

PixieDustt · 15/12/2019 19:38

I'd say Milo.
I think they go okay together.
I also have a Milo

Jj2431 · 15/12/2019 20:49

Mila and Luca go nicely.

LarkDescending · 15/12/2019 20:53

Max is perfect, and my favourite of your choices, but I like Lucas too.

LousiaHearth · 15/12/2019 21:36

I think Asa is a lovely Name! I think Milo would work, even though it’s a little similar to your girls name :)

Looks like Max and Luca are the two most popular on here as well!

Seriously at the PPs that think you can have a Mila and Milo?!! There is ONE letter difference!

I like Lucas and Max.

Born last week, we named our son Max. Using Maxi as a nickname. Thanks for all of your helpful thoughts.
