My instinct is to say My-la, like [name_f]Miley[/name_f] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. But I’ve read that it’s Me-la, like [name_f]Mia[/name_f]. Either way it’s pretty but I find it a bit confusing!
I believe the actress pronounces it like “mee-la” since she’s a [name_f]Milena[/name_f] and Ukrainian by birth. [name_f]Canada[/name_f] had a first lady named [name_f]Mila[/name_f] Mulroney and she pronounced it the same way.
Well, her how name is [name_f]Milena[/name_f] anyway and it’s Ukranian. But to clear this up, on [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] she pronounces her own name as Mee-la and in many many interviews she not once corrects anyone for saying it mee-la.
