Hi everyone, just looking for opinions on this name and middle name together - does it flow? Many thanks!!

No. Not together.
Too much eye eye

Mymapuddlington · 15/10/2021 18:47

Sounds like a disease to me. Sorry I can’t come I’ve caught ivymila off the kids.
To be fair though nobody uses full names so does it matter?

IComeInPeace · 15/10/2021 18:51

Ivy Camille
Ivy Mirren
Ivy Jemima

These have a mmm sound but flow better

espressomartiniweeny · 15/10/2021 18:52

How are you pronouncing Mila?

KirstenBlest · 15/10/2021 19:05

I don't like either of them or the combination

MotherOfFrenchies · 15/10/2021 19:31
Sad It is pronounced Mee-La - it’s short for Milena

It doesn't flow very well atall

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 15/10/2021 19:34

just wrong together

iveemeela sounds like a plant name or a cleaning product-just doesn't work at all

espressomartiniweeny · 15/10/2021 20:42

I like it as a first and middle name combination.
Ivy is so pretty.

It's important it flows with your surname too.

BakingOfTheFoodCats · 15/10/2021 20:47

Sorry but it really doesn’t sound nice at all

AnotherLauraLou · 15/10/2021 20:53

No it doesn’t work.

I don’t like Milena as it makes me think of Melena which is black tarry poo.

MissBattleaxe · 15/10/2021 20:58

Yes I was told by a nurse friend that Milena is the name for bloody stools.

MissBattleaxe · 15/10/2021 20:58

I might have the spelling wrong

AdaColeman · 15/10/2021 21:03

No they don’t work well together, and I’m not not keen on them individually either.

Mymapuddlington · 15/10/2021 21:15

So it’s not Ivy Mila its Ivy Milena? Why do you need to shorten a middle name?
As others have said Melena is bloody poop.

alpinerain · 15/10/2021 21:17

Beautiful name! I think it flows well.

RootDeToot · 15/10/2021 21:17

Mila makes me think if those spots.

hopingforabrighterfuture2021 · 15/10/2021 22:15

Individually- beautiful names. Together, they don’t work in my option. I think if you added a longer middle name in between it could work, eg Ivy Josephine Mila, Ivy Olivia Mila, Ivy Charlotte Mila.
