What are people's thoughts on Millie? What associations does the name have? What kind of boy's names would it go with?

Asking on behalf of a friend. Thanks!

Millenium? Oh dear ...

Go on...not gone. Sorry.

I love it. DTD2 is Emily and I have tried to get her to respond to Millie, but she's not up for it - best I can manage is Emmy.

piprabbit · 29/07/2010 00:58

I know a Millie - apparently it is short for Millenium. Gone, guess, which year was she born?

plonker · 29/07/2010 00:51

I don't like it much, much better names out there, just a bit bland.

cece · 27/07/2010 20:44

Very popular around here.

LauraNorder · 27/07/2010 20:38

I love Milly, DD1's name (full name Emily).

I have a Millie (Millicent), and it suits her down to the ground. She is not at all girly (she is a 4 year old tomboy, who would like to be princessy ,but doesn't quite cut it!).
Despite it's apparent popularity, there are no more at her nursery, or school.

And my Ds is Elliot (7), so i obviously think the two go well together.

Millie is a great name. I have a friend called Millie, she is definitely not what you would call girly, having a Phd in Biochemical Engineering, and now nearly 40 the name suits her fine.

Go with it.

Millie is a beautiful name.

Only problem is everyone thinks the same.

There are thousands of even more beautiful names that are rarely ever used.
Be brave.

It's sweet but a bit cutesy, so needs a "proper" name for when she gets older. (Amelie/Camilla/etc).

Associations: I think of a very "girly" girl IYSWIM. Ribbons and gingham. Maybe influenced by Milly Molly Mandy books.

Crazycatlady · 27/07/2010 19:14

I think Millie is quite sweet, but one of my cats is called Mille, and I have since met quite a few other cats with the same name so not only is it very popular, it's obviously a favourite with felines!

MillieMummy · 27/07/2010 19:01

I am the proud mum of a millie as you can tell. I still love the name, but I do worry about how it will sound when she is in her 30's.
The only thing I don't like is that my family shorten it to Mil - yuk !

sweetnitanitro · 27/07/2010 19:01

It's OK as a nn (although not to my taste), I don't really like nicknames as given names though. Doesn't have any associations for me.

Not sure what you mean by which boys' names it would go with, I would have thought anything except Billy or Willy would be fine
