longer ways to get to Mila?

mamarachof6 · September 16, 2012, 6:03pm

Two quick questions:

[name]How[/name] would you pronounce [name]Mila[/name]? I think I’m pronouncing it as MEE-LA but it could also be MY-LA?
What are some ways I could get [name]Mila[/name] from a longer name? I can’t think of any.

I pronounce it MEE-la. A longer way to get to [name]Mila[/name] is [name]Milena[/name].

I would pronounce it mee-luh.
You could use:
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Milania[/name]

I’d pronounce it MEE-lah. I bet most people would know how to say it because of [name]Mila[/name] Kunis. I like [name]Ludmila[/name], but I know my style is weird.

Dantea’s list is great! My favorites from there are probably [name]Milana[/name], [name]Romilly[/name], and [name]Emilia[/name]!

mamarachof6 · September 17, 2012, 12:46pm

These are great. I definitely like it on its own too but I was just curious.

I like [name]Emilia[/name], [name]Camilla[/name], [name]Romilly[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name]!

Thanks!

I would spell [name]Camila[/name] if you want the nn [name]Mila[/name] pron. mee-la otherwise (with [name]Camilla[/name]) you might get my-lah or mih-la. I also love [name]Ludmila[/name] and [name]Milena[/name] although I think [name]Mila[/name] is a bit of a stretch nn for [name]Milena[/name].

[name]Milena[/name]…

teacherma · September 17, 2012, 2:43pm

But [name]Mila[/name] is a common nickname for [name]Milena[/name] – which is the case for [name]Mila[/name] Kunis.

lineska · September 17, 2012, 4:09pm

It’s mee-luh

And [name]Milena[/name] and [name]Ludmila[/name] are the most common ways I know of getting there.

heytherepigeon · September 17, 2012, 4:26pm

I pronounce it MY-luh. That’s how I prefer it, too.
