Thoughts on the baby name Milani? I am wanting to name my baby that but my family has shot it down and now I feel like its a bad name or something…I wish I wouldn’t have opened my mouth about it at this point

Name them what you want to. It’s your child. I got a couple weird reactions to naming my son Jupiter and a lot nice remarks about it too. I loved it and that’s what mattered most to me. 
I think Milani is cute.

I like it alot, Im sure I had that down on my list for baby girls names if I ever but no luck in that department yet, just luck with 4 boys. Remember this is your baby to name, the family will have to get used to Milani if you do.

Not something I’d pick but you do you. Just remember your child has to live with whatever you name them.

I love it that’s what I wanted my sister to name my Goddaughter…my sister’s son is named Milan and I loved Milani as a girl name
I like it! My family also did not like the name Vayda I picked for my daughter but I did it anyways now all I hear from everyone is I love that name! It is nice cause some don’t like it so it’s not a common name used
Go for it!! I love it!! My youngest daughter is Leilani 
Name your baby whatever you want. We didn’t tell our kids names to many until after they were born, people are so mean about names. I personally thinks it’s an okay name, but anyone else’s opinion aside from your own doesn’t matter.
I named my son Lachlan (4) and people STILL give me weird looks over it. I am constantly explaining the name. But, I honestly don’t care. It’s your baby, name them what you want. 
you know what they say opinions are like…

It’s your baby, name them what you want. I think it’s pretty
Name her what you want! My husband shot down our two kids names AND guess what i still named them Zayden and our daughter Nylah && he loves their names now. Go figure 
I don’t understand why you want or need your family’s approval on names. That is YOUR BABY! Name YOUR BABY whatever you want whether they like the name or not.

Milani Grace sounds unique. I like different names
It’s your baby! Not your family’s baby but yours! You name your child whatever you want.
You’re baby You’re choice, my ex MIL hated the name Jennifer said all the Jennifer’s she knew were bi***'S, my baby my choice.
My great niece her name is maylani
Thats a very sweet name. Don’t change your mind its very unique x
I like it, but name your baby whatever you want to name your baby. Everyone else will just have to hop on board or not.
It’s your baby ,now a days people are naming their babies anything, so go for it
It’s a cosmetics brand name, so there’s that. Not sure if there are copyright or trademark issues, like naming your kid Nike, even though she was the goddess of victory. Clearly Mercedes was a girl’s name before it was used for a line of cars.
I like Milani: easy to say, spell, feminine and different without being weird.
Girl that’s YOUR baby not theirs. Don’t let them dictate the decisions you make regarding your child. They didn’t help make this child so….
and the name is beautiful.
It’s your kid name what ever you want
It’s absolutely none of their business. I think it’s beautiful!
Do what you want.
Just tell all detractors “you get to name your baby & I’ll name mine”.
Melani was a name on my list . It’s cute
That’s a really pretty name
It’s your personal decision…if it’s what you feel is right stick with it!
I think it’s a pretty name
I think it’s a cute name
That was what I was going to name my baby I had today lol!!! I also like laylani, Alani!!! It’s pretty.
It’s the name of a makeup brand
It’s your baby, literally only your opinion matters.
If there is anything I’ve learned after having 3 babies. Don’t tell anyone your baby name, bc people will ruin it for you & their opinion really doesn’t matter. But that’s just the beginning, you’ll get unwanted opinions about your babies for the rest of your life lol.
Do yourself a favor and don’t tell anyone the baby’s name until it’s here. You can give initials if they want to have something monogrammed

I love that name don’t let what others day put you off i toyed with the name milani/Milana but had a boy lol x
It’s your baby not their’s name the baby what you want .
Although the name Melanie (Mel-ar-knee) with an accent on the a is pretty much the same and won’t get the eye-rolls.
It is your baby name It what you want
That is my daughter’s neices name. I think it is beautiful
I work with a kid that has that name…
Name your kid what you want. They don’t get to have an opinion.
It’s your baby NOT your family’s!
Its your baby, not your families baby. Name it what you want. Pretty easy peasy lemon squeezy.
There is nothing wrong with that name if you like it don’t let any one. Change your mind.
It is an OK name, I guess.
A girl could get away with it more easily than a boy.
But I think your family is right.
I do not like the sound of it nor the look of it as written.
I think your child will hate you for this name. I would if my Mom named me something like this.
Ultimately it is up to you but Milani is not an attractive name,
