It was my father's name. This is why I was named Milena, because my name is the feminine form of my father's.

Milan strikes me as a female name. Maybe it's because all the Milans I know are girls.

Milan can never be a unisex name because its of male gender. A female version is Milena or Milana. The male version is never used for a girl unless you are a non-Slav and you don't know how our names work. To a foreigner it might sound as a girls name - I honestly don't see how - but to a Slav it never would. Anyway, a beautiful name in my opinion and its female counterpart.

I would love to name a future son after my favorite city and football (soccer) team AC Milan. His full name would be Massimiliano though.

Milan can be a male name on the Indian sub-continent. In that instance it is pronounced to rhyme with Dylan.

I have been thinking about this name lately and whilst I'm not into geographical names I think this would be quite lovely on a girl. Pronounced Mill-ahn. There would be some nice nickname's too, Milly or Lahny.

Milan is a beautiful name, I believe it should be categorized as a UNISEX name because it's commonly used as a girl name, maybe more so than as a male name.

I like this name. It is very cool and interesting but I see it as a girl name not a boys.

It's a gorgeous name but please don't use it on a girl. That's not trendy, it's really against its Slavic origin which makes it sounds so ridiculous for anybody who has Slavic background or speaks a Slavic language!

-- JoannaC  4/29/2009

It is a male name. NOT A GIRL'S NAME. Name Milan sounds stupid to us Slavs when it's used for girls.
