HelpRe: Mila vs. Mina
in reply to a message by Pickles
Mila
I don't love it - I might if I felt identified with Slavic or Hispanic heritage?
but at least when I hear it, I don't notice "meal" in it, the way I always notice "mean" in Mina. Mila is pretty.
Mina sounds mean, to my poor naive brain that has never encountered any real people called Mina.
I wouldn't use Mila as short for anything, but I like Milena and Emilia and Jamila and C/Kamila alright.
If I had to use Mina, I'd make it short for Jasmina. I also like Carmina, and Willemina is not bad.
