Ok so still trying to figure out exactly what to name our daughter...

Between Mila (pronounced Mee la) and Michaela/Micaela.

We like both these names, strong yet pretty on a girl at least IMO. What do you think? which is the better choice?

[paytonnicole]

I perfer Mila (:

[taz]

I think Michaela could have Mila as a nickname so maybe you could use both!

[spring13]

i love Michaela.

[east93]

Michaela nn Mila could work, but I vastly prefer just Mila.

[roseyposey]

Mila. In general I just like the name better than Micaela, and I also know a lot of different spelling variations of Micaela which I could imagine might get annoying.

Honestly I think Michaela is gorgeous! Mila is okay but Michaela sounds so much prettier IMO and has a great meaning.

[gourmista]

Michaela is stately and beautiful, in theory, but IMO has been tainted by all of the Makaylas, etc.

Mila is lovely.

Mila is lovely.

Seconding this. If you do use Michaela, I think the H is all but necessary, despite th completely legitimate Italian spelling.

I'm not fond of Mila and I think you'll have some people calling her mill-a instead of mee-la. I also am not fond of Millie/Miley names or honestly most of the Mia/Mya/Maia/Maya names either.

So I vote Michaela.
