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.
i have to vote Milla as that's our number 1 girls name if we are so blessed. We have already decided she would be Milla Jean (jean is dh's nan's name).
I really like Mya as well tho but pronouncication is a bit of an issue (probably the case for milla too).
Milla Ruby
Mya Ruby
hmmm I'm not sure if i like Ruby as a 2nd name with these but i do like the name Ruby very much.
You said you like a bit retro/old fashionned.. what about Betty? or Meg? but probably not as 2nd names with Milla or Mya i suppose.
gee not sure if that really helped you at all lol but good luck!
