“We named our eldest daughter Mila, like a perfectly popular name. Afterward, my mom called and said, ‘In Texas, they’re calling her My-la, the way you spelled it. Lela is [spelled] L-E-L-A, maybe you change it to M-E-L-A.’ I was like, ‘You want me to change the spelling of my child’s name because in Texas they are mispronouncing it as My-la?’ She’s now 12, so when we named her Mila maybe it wasn’t quite so popular.”

Jenna was not going to change the spelling of her daughter’s name. However, her mother wanted her to since people were pronouncing it wrong. This shocked Jenna and her fans to hear this.
