Surname will be Jones.

Or if anyone has some suggestions I would love to hear them. Such a difficult decision

Not keen on Mila and would have pronounced it Miller before reading upthread. What about Della, Delia, Reeva, Rita, Celia, Keavy?

Mila is ok but sounds like a brand of contraceptive. Plus the issue with pronunciation. Grace is dreadful.

Grace Jones Hmm

Mila Elizabeth is nice, added advantage is she could use her traditional middle name if she prefers as an adult for work etc - popular names now can end up as the unpopular names in the future. Lots of Gary's and Tracey's when I was at school, now none (other than the teachers).

I like Mila. If you want a more unusual middle name than Grace/Rose, how about:

Mila Juliet
Mila Alexandra
Mila Penelope
Mila Katharine
Mila Rosalind/Rosamund/Rosalie/Rosemary
Mila Elizabeth
Mila Verity
Mila Victoria
Mila Beatrice
Mila Caroline
Mila Felicity

Mila is a lovely names I don't know any

Mila Beth is lovely

How about

Mila Clementine
Mila Violet
Mila Edith
Mila Margaret
Mila Martha (I love alliteration but maybe you don't)
Mila Liberty
Mila Pearl
Mila Roseanne or Roxanne

Like Mila and it's not at all common where I live. Not keen on Grace, Rose or Beth for middle names.

Mila Grace is beautiful!

Personally love it - it's been back and forth on the top of our list too, however think we've decided Grace is just a bit too popular as a middle name (but it sounds so pretty!!)

Some others on our list are

Mila Brooke (this is probably the name we've chosen)
Mila Simone
Mila Emelle
Mila Seren
Mila Nicole

Unless you are a big Grace Jones fan, I would pick a different middle name

I honestly know 2 Mila Grace's under 3. One a co workers daughter, one an only school mates I'm still friends with on fb (so not the same circle) but still, I'd imagine it's a bit like calling your child Emma Louise in the 90s

Old school mate sorry
