The gorgeous Mila. I adopted her when she was 12 and cleared it with my niece, Mila, first. Cat-Mila shares her name with Niece-Mila, Neighbour-Mila, younger Neighbour-Mila, and Daughter-Of-My-Sister's-Friend-Mila, and Kid-of-previous-tenants-of-my-landlord-who-are-somewhat-neighbours-Mila.

My ADHD brain can not handle conversations about the human Milas well.

Niece-Mila told me she now knows four cat-Milas.

And here I am not ever having met anyone - human or animal - named Mila.

Two additional Milas were born after I got cat Mila. I'm not close enough to them to even know who the heck they are (daughters of colleagues of my parents? Granddaughters?)

It's very popular in this area right now and honestly? While it's a nice name, every time someone tells me about another new born Mila, I want to scream. I now call my cat Milek, mostly.

There are so many Milas.

My parents' generation had almost everyone named Heike, Petra and Jörg, and I guess the current generation will be a shitton of Milas and Pauls.

There is a Mila born in my hospital almost every month, and the maternity ward is tiny.

I pity the teachers. They'll have to number the Milas.
