[Opinions] Milburga
Do you think Milburga is usable at all? I really love the meaning and historical association with this name, but think it's probably too "out there" to actually use. BTW, if you want to, feel free to come up with some combos for it.*previously posted as summitseeker*

It's so stodgy and clunky. I should really dislike it, but for some reason I find it charming. I don't think it's very usable though.

Hi Cayden !!!I like some names similar to it: Walburga at first but also Mildred, Millicent and Mélisande.I think that no name 'is not usable'. You can only meet someone who like it and someone who dislike it. But the choice is yours!I'm among those who have a positive feeling about Milburga!I think of a strong, refined lady and on a little girl it can be shortened as Millie which is charming and simple.The 'burga' ending has nothing wrong imo. I think of beautiful old German cities full of history and Medieval stuff and not to the food..I suggest you...

I don’t think it’s usable, but I do like it for a character.

The meaning is nice, but the name itself is quite ugly and not usable.

Completely not usable. Nothing about it's sound is aesthetically pleasing, but the burg in particular is just asking for trouble. I don't think you could even put it as a middle name, unless you want your kid to avoid sharing their middle name with anyone as though their life depended on it.

It's a pretty cool name and I like the meaning and historical association as well. I think you'd have to be really confident to pull the name off.

Not too many things could have that "burg" sound in them and be traditionally pretty. It reminds me of burgers (of course), but also burps and boogers and generally unpleasant bodily functions.
