Millie or Milly?

I'm not keen on any 'official' names, so I'm going for Millie/Milly on BC.

Which one?

I once got told you were a:
Milly if you were an Emily
And a:
Millie if you were a A/Emilia

I like both. I think it's best to go with whichever 'looks' like a nicer fit with her middle and surname.

Strongly suggest Amelia, Camilla with Millie/ Milly as a shortening. It's about as elegant and pretty as a shopping trolley.

I also find Millie quite cutesy and maybe sweet for a little girl, but I'd prefer to have a more solid name personally.

Millie is lovely for child but doesn't sound very professional for an adult woman. Would you consider Amelia or Camilla which gives her the choice of a more adult name when she is older?

Millie.
It's different to names like Holly, because holly is the name of the plant. I would consider the Hollie spelling odd.

Milly

Millie.

Don't move to Belfast, it has a local meaning.

NapQueen · 26/05/2017 22:43

Millie. But I also prefee Hollie to Holly and Abbie to Abby so maybe its a y thing.

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 26/05/2017 22:40

All the ones I know spell their name Millie, so I'd go with that spelling.

switswoo81 · 26/05/2017 22:38

I have a Millie, it's unusual where I'm from so I checked the uk baby names list and the ie was higher so went with that.
She has renamed herself (at 2) as Mimi so it doesn't matter now!

I agreecSoy Molly, but Millie.
