Need a replacement name for Mila

Girl Names
1

Hello all,

I’m having boy girl twins in a few weeks. I also have a 2.5 year old daughter named [name_m]Luka[/name_m] [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]. We have a very common Hispanic last name, similar to Gomez/[name_m]Hernandez[/name_m], etc. I have Slavic ancestry, husband is Latino.

Thought we had names picked out, [name_m]Hector[/name_m] [name_m]Ignacio[/name_m] and [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Renata[/name_f].

Well… I had no idea [name_f]Mila[/name_f] is currently #30 in the US. I’m very attached to the name, but this might be a deal breaker for me. I can’t stand the thought of my daughter sharing her name with someone every time she turns around. I’ve met too many [name_m]Luka[/name_m]/[name_u]Luca[/name_u]’s and it irritates me every time. I’m heartbroken.

Anyone have some different suggestions? I don’t want anything biblical. I like Slavic names, but nothing that SCREAMS Russian (I.e. [name_f]Svetlana[/name_f]) I also like Latin names. I think I would like to keep it short (or something with a short nickname), similar to my other daughter.

For inspiration, some other names I’ve considered (but don’t love) are:
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxy[/name_f]
[name_f]Katerina[/name_f] “[name_u]Kit[/name_u]”
[name_f]Amapola[/name_f] “[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]”
[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] “[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]”
