My real name is Mila, (Anna’s my middle name) it wasn’t really common from where I’m from when I was born and I’ve only met one person I’m pretty sure with the same same, but I’ve noticed it’s become more popular which I find kinda sucks, since it used to be more unique.

Something similar like Mia, only with an extra L in it. While Mila looks a little bit better than the really boring Mia, however also nothing much interesting about this name.

I love Mila so much. My Slavic roots make this name very dear and special to me. I understand this might not be everybody's thing, but to me it is wonderful. Much love!

Cute, but I don't like how popular it's getting. I've had Olivia picked out for over 10 years and it's became so popular, I don't think I can use it. Mila is riding the same wave.

This is on our name list, although I'm not quite sure I like it as a full name. I prefer it more as a nickname.

Okay. Where I live, this is the most popular name for girls. I think it's a sweet name, but it's so popular. Like, Mila is the new Emma where I live.

I’m surprised to hear that this name is so popular, I had never even heard of it up until recently. It’s cute though. I prefer this to Mia.

So trendy. I see this name every other week in birth announcements. It was actually at the top of our list until I said it a few times (pronounced Mee la). It just annoyed me having to say it for some reason.

I have a friend called Mila but it's pronounced MILE-A (like Myla) and personally I prefer it that way.

Pretty cute, but it's very trendy. There are probably a bunch of Milas under the age of 5 currently. Along with Everly and Luna, I think Mila will become dated to the 2010s.

Milena Markovna "Mila" Kunis (Ukrainian: Мілена Марківна Куніс; Russian: Милена Марковна Кунис; born August 14, 1983) is an American actress. In 1991, at the age of 7, she moved from Soviet Ukraine to the United States with her family. After being enrolled in acting classes as an after-school activity, she was soon discovered by an agent. She appeared in several television series and commercials, before landing her first significant role at age 14, playing Jackie Burkhart on the television series That '70s Show (1998–2006). Since 1999, she has voiced Meg Griffin on the animated series Family Guy.

In the case of actress Mila Kunis, it's a DIMINUTIVE of her REAL name: MILENA.

THAT actress, Mila Kunis, may be the reason why THIS name is POPULAR around the world!

JEEZ! This name is too gorgeous for me to even say it! One of my best friends has the name Mila! Honestly, if I had a daughter, I would give her the name Mila, because the name defines the beauty and purity that my child would have!

It's pretty and has a cute meaning, but hard to pronounce for most and it's getting too trendy, mainly because of the actress Mila Kunis. I wouldn't be surprised if this name dies as much as it got popular in the next 10-20 years.

I don’t particularly like this name, but I have a friend named Mila. She’s very funny, but “gracious” or “dear” are not what comes to mind when I think of her.

Mila is a very beautiful name, however it's becoming very common. I think it would be a lovely nickname for names such as Camila or Milena.

Actually even in Slovenia we use Mila as a name, the various names have the element 'Mila' inside them:
Ljudmila (Lyudmila)- ljud-people Mila-kind, aka "kind to people", Bogomila (rare)- bogo/bog -god/gods, Mila- kind/-->aka "kind with gods" or "gods are kind with her" and so many more. I particularly don't like my name (Mila), because everyone thinks I am calm and kind. Maybe I am not like my sister whose Slavic name means barbar (barbarian), which describes her pretty well.
In my opinion this name is kinda heavy and it sticks in your mouth when you say it... or it is just me...

I named my daughter Mila, but we decided to spell it Meela. It has eliminated any confusion on how to pronounce it. Meela Lynn is her name.

I've never known that the meaning of the name Mila is so good. I feel like, wow... because my real name is Patmila, my nickname is Mila, but my friends and family usually call me 'mil'. And the name of Mila that I get is absorbed from both my parents' names. Besides, in my country (Indonesia) there is no special meaning for the name of Mila.

Mila is the diminutive form of Ludmilla, Milena, and other Slavic female names with the root word "mil", meaning gracious, dear, and loved.
A popular nickname (in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia) for the name is Milochka.
This name is timeless in Slavic countries, though trendy in North America.

It's pretty and simple, but a bit too simple for me. I prefer names with a bit more spunk and edge that Mila simply lacks. I find it a little too soft for my taste.

It's feminine and pretty. I really like the meaning too (gracious, dear, loved by the people). It's quite universal sounding too.

I really love this name (& many M names!) but worry about its' rising popularity (due to Miss Kunis?) & that it may be a trend name that becomes dated. I think feeling dated is worse than the popularity issue. It is similar to the popular Mia & Maya and other lovely alternatives like Mira, Maisie, & Macey.

Not so unique anymore, unfortunately. In 2012, it ranked 115. That's just too big and sudden of a leap for a name that wasn't even on the charts 10 years ago for me. It stinks, because this is a pretty name that could've been unique.

Everyone likes this name? Really? A relative was like, "It's too bland. All the other names have a certain punch to them but this one is just blah..."

I have to say I agree, something about it is easy to overlook. Plus the male version, Milo, sounds better.

I have no idea why they don't write that it is also used in Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and many places in Eastern Europe. It is a nickname for a Slavic pagan name Lyudmila which literally means (loved by the people or dear to the people).

This name isn't related to Miley (MY-lee). It's pronounced MILL-ah or MEE-lah, not MY-luh. If you want to pronounce it MY-luh, than spell it Myla. Mila is a beautiful name meaning dear. I love it.
