What do you think of Mila (MEE-la) for a girl? I fear it will get popular because it's simple and sweet, like Ella, Mia, Ava, Lily etc

What do you think?

Gorgeous name, I fell in love with it since I first heard it. Very feminine and soft, associates with love.

I LOVE THIS SOOO MUCH. I really think its sweet but I also knew an adult called Mila and it really suited her.

I kind of like it as a NN for Ludmilla. It could get popular, and it is simple and sweet, but could it get popular by being a spinoff of Miley?

I like it, but it does feel a bit nicknamey.

I think it is pretty, but I don't think it will get popular for some reason.

I really like it, and it has been climbing my list of late. I don't think it will get popular because unlike those names it has a very Slavic flavor and subconciously there is still a pull away from Eastern European tendencies, at least in the US.

Then again...

Layla/ Leila is huge here, and I would argue that anti-Islamic feelings are much stronger here than anti-Eastern European sentiments.

It (Mila) is already popular and I think it's going to have huge 2008 numbers.

Layla rhymes with Kayla and I think most people don't even know where it comes from, they just want something with the -ayla sound in it.

Actually Mila lost places compared to last year.

it may, I did lok at the popularity again

I think it could get more popular but I don't see it getting super popular.

Where Layla is concerned you have to consider that it did enter english with the song and so it was in the top 1000 in the seventies so it's already been accepted and established. Plus, it fits right in with Kayla, Jayla and all of those.

But

Layla looks and feels a lot like Kayla. It's completely possible that people use it without realizing that it's an Arabic name.

I think it's okay. Pretty but slightly boring. It is quite similar to Ella, Mia etc which is probably why I get that feeling.
