I prefer Milana

---

Milanna looks misspelt to me. I would pronounce Milana as "Mee-LAH-nah". I also like Milena (Mee-LEH-nah), Malena (Mah-LEH-nah) and Melina.

I prefer Milena (mih-LAY-nah). Milanna looks utterly trendy to me, despite its lack of popularity. For one thing, it looks like an elaboration of a place name, along the lines of Caironessa. For another, the -anna/-ana ending is extremely trendy for the moment.

To me, Milanna looks like several different trends smushed together in an unsightly mess of name, I'm afraid. I'd pronunce it mih-LAH-nah.

She had fallen against the windows, which were pressed against the windows, which were pressed against the old oak near across the age of the old Aunt Sophronia--was almost dreadful enough to walk on.
