Just wanted to give a heads up that, apparently, people don't know how to prounce this.
After going round and round for names - we named our daughter Mila about a day after she was born.
I have to say I'm absolutely in love with her name. However, suddenly everyone is asking how its pronounced and/or assuming its MY-la.
All this thought I put into a name - why it hadn't dawned on me that people would think it was MY-la, I'm not sure. But I haven't come by one person (meeting her for the first time) who pronounced it right.
Just figured I'd share...
Re: Mila...
No big deal...I correct folks on the pronunciation of my name all the time, and mine is obvious!
Seriously, today the people at a bagel shop misspelled "Ann" when I used my middle name for my order (because they really can't handle "Cheryl") and not because they added an "e" at the end. They seriously spelled it "An." So.....I really wouldn't worry. There will always be someone who can't say or pronounce a name.
And FWIW, I have always said "Mee-la" for this name.
