I love Milla too but didn't think it was that common. I thought Mya would have been more common that Milla. There are a bazillion Mia's at the moment and I know of a Maia that always gets called Mia. Mila was on my girls name list last year.
Girls names are hard. I always thought naming bub was the easiest part but turned out to be a huge stress when DH is involved.
both names are pretty and both go well with Ruby!
i dont think either are overlly common atm i have heard of both but not seen many with these names.
if i had to choose i would choose Mya cause i really like the letter "y" in a name! i just think its a nice letter, looks nice, can be written nicely and i dunno im just a fan!
Milla. For sure. The two Millas I have ever worked with (in 10+ years in childcare at nearly 60 different places) have both been darlings.
The Mayas and Myahs and Maias and Meyers just have people stuffing up their names constantly. I grew up with people mis-spelling my name, but the pronunciation was always right. I think people stuffing it up would just be frustrating.
When I first read Mya, I pronounced it the way you intended - I don't think you'd have any pronunciation issues there. I prefer Mya to Milla; have you considered Myla? My wedding photographer named her daughter Myla (My-lah) and it could be a creative way of combining the two names you like... the only reason it's not on my list is because my #1 girls name is Skyler, and I don't want rhyming children!
I also adore Ruby although it is becoming super common these days (I work in Births Deaths and Marriages ). You can't go too far wrong with pronouncing Ruby, so maybe you could play around with variations? Favourite one I've seen so far is Rubii which I thought was very unique and would have stolen for my names list had it not been suggested by 6-month-pregnant BFF. Ah well
I think they're both lovely. I'm a bit biased towards Milla as that's DD's middle name but DH chose it, as I had Maya on my list as a first name (which he didn't like).
I also like the idea to combine them to make Myla - haven't heard this name before but I think it's really pretty.
