[Opinions] Re: Mio
in reply to a message by Ninor
It’s cute, I think. if I heard it on someone around me (in the Us) I would probably assume they were Hispanic. A lot of my Hispanic friends call my sons and theirs, mi hijo-prounounced just like Mio, basically, as they talk so fast.( Means my son)I can only think of one name for it to be a a nickname for, Milo, if you pronounce it Mee-low. I’ve heard Milo pronounced My-low and Mee-low, so if you said it with a long e, I could see Milo becoming a nickname from that.

I speak only a little Spanish, but from having lived in the southwest US for a long time, I know Mio is not pronounced the same as mi hijo.

I do know that it is not pronounced the same. However, the Hispanics I am acquainted with and very close friends wih, speak Spanish very fast. So when my friend calls me my daughter, mi hija, it sounds like mi-ha, as does mi Hijo, my son, sounds like mi-ho.
