How do you pronounce Mila? And do you like it?

[Aubergines]

Would you pronounce it Mee-la or Miller?

I have just found this name and love it for my mythical DD3. DH is worried it's too foreign sounding to go with our other DD's names (both ofvwhich see actual common in both the UK, Spain and Russia).

Oops, that should read "both of which are actually common..."

But how do you know you love it if you don;t know how to pronounce it? [baffled emoticon}

Sorry, to clarify I know how I would pronounce it, but if everyone else pronounces it differently I would not love it so.

Milla is how I'd pronounce it. I think it's a lovely name actually.

Milla. No.

I'd pronounce it Mee-la.

I thought it was Mile-a

Call her Camilla and use Milla as a nickname?

I would think it was Mee-la but if I was told it was Milla, or Mile-a I would pronounce it like that! I think it sounds quite pretty in all variations. I wouldn't worry about 'foreign-sounding' in the UK tbh (not the area I live in anyway).

I would say Mee-la

It's pronounced Milla but will probably cause confusion as many think it's Meela or Mile-a. Definitely Milla though.

I thought i was pronounced mile-a, same beginning sound as Milo.

It's a lovely name but going to be a bit of a pain if you and she spend your lives explaining how to pronounce it. If you like the 'milla/miller' pronunciation, maybe you could consider using 'Camilla' as her name, then everyone would know how to pronounce it and you can mainly use the shortened version 'milla'.?

I thought it was Mile-a (like a female Milo)

I'd say Mee-la but I'm not that keen on it.

Reminds me of Mia.

Oh sorry Pekkala, I somehow missed you there! Great minds think

I'm sure I wrote 'alike' there! Having a bad day for this, better go away I reckon

Nice. but similar to the name for those teeny white spots babies get....milia?

It is pronounced Mee-la and my friend has a dd called this.

It is Indian.

Her other dd is called Hayley. Same dad.

When i saw the post i thought of it as souning simmilar to Milo so id pronounce it My-la.

The only time I've come across the name with just one l is Mila Kunis, the actress from That 70s Show and Family Guy. She pronounces it Meela.

I would pronouce it Meela.

I have known a couple of girls called Milla though (one Finnish, one German) and think it's very pretty too.

There was a thread today about the skin condition milia which unfortunately was my first thought.

i think it is mee-la

An Australian friend of mine called her dd this and they prounounced it Milla.
