Help[Opinions] Re: Millicent
in reply to a message by Jagoda
I'm Millie, not Millicent, but as a child I was always asked if Millicent was my full name. In fact, when I was Christened, my parents asked if they wanted my name to be Millicent (though they were happy that they'd put Millie on my birth certificate and wanted to stick with that).
My younger sister is Ellie. We went through a period growing up calling each other elongated names - as oppose to nicknames - so for a long while she was Eleanore and I was Millicent. Now we're older, we're "Elle and Mill", but I appreciate longer names with nickname potential rather than putting nicknames straight on the birth certificate.
That being said though... Despite everything... Still can't get behind Millicent personally. I just don't think it's ready for a revival, maybe it never will because I don't think it has the sound, spunk or personality to hold it's own in today's world. It's very 'bread and butter pudding' and white net curtains.

I’ve never known a Millie who wasn’t just Millie, so I’m surprised people asked you if you were Millicent!
I get what you’re saying about it not holding up today, though I think it might come back into style in the next ten years or so, but I love the description of it being very bread and butter pudding!
