What are your thoughts on Millicent, its a name I've always loved but disregarded when naming both dds but I just heard it on cbeebies and it reminded me my love for it.

Useable and very cool imo. Useable because of the obvious popular nn's Milly/Mila if she dislikes it, cool because it will make most people think of Suffragist Fawcett. In fact with the current popularity of a lot of other retro/vintage names (Clara/Ivy/Ada/Nancy/Mabel/Florence etc), I can't figure out why Millicent isn't more popular - maybe because it has harsher consonant sounds which are less fashionable?

Too harsh and unfriendly sounding.

I have a friend called Millicent, she's always called Milly though. Long before Milly was fashionable.
