I saw this name in a paper yesterday: Mylia

I kinda like the way it looks but I'm not sure how to pronounce it...I want to say "My-Leah". WDYT?

I don't like it.

I definitely read it as My-Leah in my mind too, but...

I know a girl whose daughter is named Myia. Pronounced My-ah.

As in, it could have been spelled Mya or Maya or maybe even Mia (although that's Me-ah to me)...apparently she couldn't decide so she used both vowels.

I shudder to think that Mylia could just be MY-lee, or MY-la with an extra vowel!

I thought "mill-ee-ah."
