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.
