Help[Opinions] Re: Millie
in reply to a message by Starving Artist
Camilla / Camille is not floral. It is an ancient Roman name.
Camelia is the flower / floral name. It has a slightly different pronunciation that you might like better than Camilla. Would Camelia work any better?
But back to your issue about Millie. Millie is an adorable nn. Other names it could be from include:
Amelia / Emilia / Emiliane / Emily
Mila
Matilda
Mahalia
Melina
Mireille ("meer-AY-uh")
Emmeline
Melisande (French form of Millicent)
Melusine
Malaika
Melody
Melanie
Mileva ("mi-LAY-vuh")(Einstein's first wife)
Some of these are a bit of a stretch, admittedly. But nns aren't an exact science so I'm pretty fast and lose with my diminutives. Please let us know if you find something that works. Thanks!

I don't like Camilla because of Camilla Parker Bowles, I probably should have made that clear. Camellia is floral, and I generally get tired of floral names. I like it right now, but I've liked other florals and gotten tired of them. Who knows, if it's still bouncing around my head after a few months, it might make it on the PNL.
Emilia, Emily, and Emmeline are very pretty. I do worry about them, though, because Emma is so popular. (And there are dozens of Emilys in my age range). I'm not a huge fan of trendy names, although the nickname Millie might be different enough to distance it from Emma.
