Marlo Thomas's first name is Margaret.
Her parents called her Margo as a child, though she soon became known as Marlo, due to her childhood mispronunciation of the nickname. |

There is no combination for Margaret or Laura Mila is short for Camilla. Nothing to do with those other names. |

| Mila is its own name. It doesn't have to be short for anything. |

| It's a nickname- they are not always logical, my mother has gone by bunny since she was a child, her real name is Eleanor, yes Ella or something else makes more since but she's always been Bunny or as my kids call her B. |

Love the Bushes (long live "W") but not particularly fond of the name choice. However, none of my business. Would like to know how she came up with the nickname though.
Love how they have ordinary hospital pictures already up on the Internet. Shows how don to earth they are - not looking for top dollar for the "first" photo nor are they trying to act all "celebrity" like a certain couple I know. |

| I'm just pleased that she picked 3 names (2 given names + a nickname) that are all real, recognizable, female names. |

That is like pretending Tracey is not short for Theresa, but a made up name from some other 2 names. |

| Margaret Laura = Mila because of M from Margaret and La from Laura. Surely EVERYONE is capable of understanding that! |

| The haters will find something to say that's nasty and mean spirited period! All others are happy for the entire Family! She's a beautiful baby born into a lovely, classy and dignified Christian Family. God bless them all! |

of course if she was born into a Jewish, Zoroastrian, or Muslim family, it wouldn't be nearly as acceptable would it?

| Not a fan of the Bush families, but the name is cute. Who cares if it isn't a real nickname or a good combination? |

Jeez, it was JUST A QUESTION! What is so nasty about it? Can't someone express an opinion or ask a question without being accused of being a mean nasty bitch? Seriously, you people need to lighten up. And what the hell does being a "Christian family" have to do with anything? |
