Your thoughts on "Milla"?

Hi All-
Love it or Hate it...What are your thoughts on Milla. And do you say
"Meal-a" or Mill-a".. Although we were not looking for a Finnish name, I also learned Milla was Finnish and I am 1/2 Finnish so I thought that was pretty cool... And it is growing on me, I think it is cute. DH was the first to suggest it. But please be honest, as I know you will. Thanks - Tara

I think it is really cute and I would pronounce it Meal-La.

Milla: abbreviation from Emilia. (I hope abbreviation is the right word to describe what I'm after)
Beautiful name, I like it. There are 7489 people here in Finland who's first, second or thrid name is (or was) Milla.
That girl, Jackie, who is on "That 70's Show" - her name is Mila, pronounced "Meal-a". If you want that pronunciation, I'd spell it with one l. "Milla" is close to "Millie", which I think people would relate the short "i" sound to. I like it - we are naming our daughter due next week, Amelia, so it is a similar sound. It's very pretty, especially since you have the Finnish heritage, it would be a name special to your daughter as well, I think.
Good luck!
