[Opinions] Re: Nina and Mila
in reply to a message by Lily
I rather like them. I like short names as well.
I pronounce them the same as you. MY-la sounds redneck trashy. MEE-la sounds cute.
My problem would be the actresses with the names--Mila Kunis and Nina Dobrev. I like Mila Kunis fine but she's pretty popular now and I wouldn't want it to seem like I named my kid after her. Nina Dobrev is... well, IDK. She's in "Perks of Being a Wallflower." She's the older sister, if you've seen that.

I think if Nina Dobrev remains on the lower scale of tv (a show on a little station and one movie that I know of off the top of my head) you wouldn't have any issues.
Mila Kunis is huge but honestly I always think of her as "Mila Kunis" almost like MilaKunis is her name. Sometimes I have to stop and think that her first name is actually Mila. Did that make sense?
