Help[Opinions] Re: Millicent or Mildred? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Definitely Millicent.
My full name is Millie (that's what it says on my birth certificate) but I went through a stage with my sister, Ellie (also full name) that we'd elongate our names and so I became Millicent more often than not, and her Eleanore. While I still call her Eleanore from time to time, we reverted back to our shortened names soon enough.
Millie might seem nickname-proof but I probably get called "Mil" more than I get called Millie.
I find Mildred clunky, and not in a cute way like Edith. I don't like the sound of all those letters together in that order. I'm not wild about Millicent either. To get Millie, I'd probably pick Camille (cah-MEEL) as a full name but other (less dated options) are Emilie, Emily, Amelie, Amelia, Camila, Camilla, Mila, Milla.
76 names ~~
