My partner and I [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Mila[/name]. However my partners “half brother” has a daughter named [name]Miller[/name], in the past 6 years we have only seen their family twice and they see my partners and his brothers dad about the same amount (they have different mothers). They also live in another part of the country… However they do share the same surname. Is it wrong to use this name? [name]Even[/name] though it is pronounced differently and we never see them we havent attended eachothers weddings or even tell eachother when we have had a baby or are pregnant! We literally only speak to them when run into them (which like I said has been twice in the past 6 years). We love this name it has been our number 1 name for a girl before they had their girl and before I even fell pregnant! I feel like we would be missing out on so much by not naming her that… I also feel it is or could be very wrong? HELP!!
Name your baby [name]Mila[/name]! I cannot see any reason not to do so, and both names are rising up the popularity ranks so quickly I think that there are going to be many [name]Miller[/name]/[name]Milas[/name] in the half brothers life.
It’s totally fine. I would think it was fine even if your husband’s half-brother and you guys were close. [name]Don[/name]'t even give it a second though.
I think it’s OK.
If you see them that little, do it. Besides [name]Mila[/name] and [name]Miller[/name] barely sound similar. So I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t do it.
I think [name]Mila[/name] & [name]Miller[/name] sound and look different enough that really, it shouldn’t be an issue. I love the name [name]Mila[/name], it’s very beautiful, and I think not using it when you’ve loved it so much for so long would be a real shame just because another name beginning with ‘[name]Mil[/name]’ is in the family. They’re such completely different names. If you didn’t go for it, I’d be apt to think you might end up really regretting/resenting passing on it in the long run because of a seemingly trivial technicality.
I wouldn’t use the exact same name as a family member. Simply because I wouldn’t like to share my name, I always loved having an interesting, uncommon name and I’d want the same for my child. However [name]Miller[/name] and [name]Mila[/name] aren’t the same name and they are pronounced differently. So I say you should go for it! [name]Mila[/name] is lovely, by the way.
I think it’s fine! [name]Mila[/name] and [name]Miller[/name] are very different, imo, and you rarely see them.
Good luck!
