Think I've gone off our baby's name!

Baby girl due in the next few weeks, since finding out we were expecting and then 100% decided when we found out she was a girl we have decided on the name Millie- to the point we've not got a back up. I still like the name but for some reason these last couple of weeks I feel like I'm not 100%. I don't know if this is just FTM last minute panicking 😂. If not, any similar suggestions? Her middle name will 100% be Eliza x

@Zillamop

Millie is a lovely name on its own, but perhaps if it was short for a longer name it would give more options? Camilla, Millicent, Amelia, Emily, Romilly?

Alternatively how about Lily, Marnie, Chloe, Annie, Kizzy, Naomi, Suzy, Bethany, Ivy, Lucy, Poppy, Katie, Holly?

Totally agree that Millie should be a NN.

How about:

Mildred
Emily
Camilla
Amelie
Emilia
Matilda
Emmeline
Melissa

We've just named our baby girl Millie but have names her Emilia on her birth certificate so she has a longer option too

Wait until baby is here and see what she looks like. It might be she fits the name or she doesn't.

Don't worry about any personalised stuff others have bought. Millie is a popular name, they can sell it on.

Eliza is lovely.

I'm an Eleanor and went my Ellie/Eleanor as a kid and teen. I'm grateful for the fact I've got Eleanor on my bc.

I like Millie. I only knew of one growing up (although it was a nickname for Amelia).I much prefer Millie/Milly to the many of the other suggestions PP's have given. If you prefer the name Millie to Amelia then go for that as the name, a lot of posters on here have some old-fashioned view that people can't have shortened names as their actual name, but if it's the name you want I say go for it!

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 16/02/2022 14:10

My adopted cat was called Millie when we got her at age 5…I wasn’t keen on it at first to be honest but she recognised her name and so we kept it and it grew on me 😊

However, for a baby girl I think I prefer it as a shortened version of a name, as previous posters have said.

Romilly Eliza is gorgeous 😊

@BabyFeb22

I absolutely love Chloe and always have it was always going to be my 'baby name' but DP had an ex called Chloe and while I'm really don't care about it he does! I also love Matilda but he doesn't 😂. Trust me to change my mind last minute! Also people have bought us personalised stuff even though I said I didn't want stuff with her name on just in case!
I wouldn't worry about the personalised stuff you can still use it.

I think of Millie as a dog's name. My friend has a cocker spaniel called Millie.

Jinx!
CrackerGal · 16/02/2022 13:31

That was meant to read Hattie Eliza 😂

CrackerGal · 16/02/2022 13:31

Penny Eliza
Hatfield Eliza

CrackerGal · 16/02/2022 13:30

What about Esme, Wren or Cleo? I think they'd go with Eliza. Or do you want it to have an 'y' sound at the end?

Wow how rude and none are misspelled even with English not being my first language or even my second. It’s not my fault you havent heard of these names.

Milleah (Mil - leah) Eliza - baby centre.com spells it this way

Amillie Eliza - hip hop and rap singer

Millina Eliza - 16 and Pregnant: Season 5 there a a girl who spells her name this way

Minnie Eliza- correct spelling

Or similar names

Emmaline Eliza - correct spelling

Bonnie Eliza - correct spelling

Aubrey Eliza - correct spelling

Cilla Eliza - correct spelling

Thankfully you think they are all awful , imagine everyone thought and acted like you. That’s a scary thought [/quote]
@whysoserious123, you are rude too and don't use excuses. For all you know, English might not be my first language.

Milleah (Mil - leah) - it's a horse breed

Amillie Eliza - hip hop and rap singer with a yoonique name

Millina Eliza - 16 and Pregnant: Season 5 there a a girl who spells her name this way. It looks made up and would probably sound like Milliner

Minnie Eliza- correct spelling - Agree

Or similar names

Emmaline Eliza - incorrect spelling. It's Emmeline

Bonnie Eliza - correct spelling. Yes but bonnie has another meaning

Aubrey Eliza - correct spelling. Aubrey is a man's name

Cilla Eliza - correct spelling. Cilla is a diminutive

Don't worry about personalised gifts.

Elbels · 15/02/2022 22:35

It's weird seeing your name ripped apart on here!

I'm an adult Milly, it was given as a nickname in childhood and has stuck around until adulthood.

For what it's worth it hasn't held me back!
