I like Mildred but not so much that I'd consider using it. The impression I get from it is basically a mix of what mirfak and Wordsmith said about it. If I think of it in a positive way, it reminds me of a temperate rain forest and old books (and unapologetically big hair?); if I think of it from a negative angle, it reminds me of mildew and rot and dread (maybe I'm getting the hair association from dreadlocks?).

Millicent is okay, but it reminds me of 'militant' and images that go along with that...strict, rigid, diligent, a girl with a square jaw, serious, spartan, brusque, an automaton...more vaguely it reminds me of millipedes and money. I think the t ending makes it seem cleaner/crisper/harder.
