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

@KirstenBlest

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

I agree that Eliza Milly is a better option than Millie Eliza. Sounds better to say.
There are names like Molly, Rosie, Flora, Evie, Ella, Penelope/Penny, Violet etc that are very “old chic”.
All lovely names.
There are other names that spring to mind like, that are different but in the same kind of vibe:
Nell
Beth/Bethany
Rebecca
Joy
Mari
Thea
Martha
Nora
Vivienne
Theodora
Cara
Clarissa

millie is a bit blah.

Love Eliza

Eliza Millie works better, but the frilly name in the middle.

I know I'm very childish but I just hear Millie and then hear Willy 🤣

I like Millie.
I love the idea of having it as a nn for Camille.
Camille Eliza is beautiful.

I think this is really normal.

Everyone in both my pregnancy and NCT groups had this, it they were set on a name. It seems to be a valid stage! I’d give it time.

Millie is really cute.

If I am lucky enough to conceive and it's a girl, Milly is currently my number one name (plus happens to be the only one husband agrees on). Lola is growing on me too. It's not one I had considered previously until I recently got to know a Lola (19-ish) and she was everything I'd hope my daughter would be like.

I also dislike Millie. It's very much a nickname. If you decide you do like it, give her a full first name. I really can't imagine an adult called Millie. Emilia, Emily, Millicent and Amelie can all be shortened to Millie.

Seeing as you asked, I really really dislike Millie. It is so nicknamey and lacks any substance, I'd hate to be called it as a full name as an adult. My niece Amelia has been nicknamed Millie and I thought it was such a shame as Amelia never gets used.
If you really like Millie, I think Emilia is beautiful, or Amelie.

I don't really like Millie either. It would be better if it was short for something.

Eliza is a much better name.

If you like Chloe but don't want to use it because of your husband's ex, what about Zoe?

Millie is gorgeous - I'd stick with it

Love chloe. How about Marnie or Zoe

Personalised gifts already? This is why I didn't announce my baby's name until she was born. Don't let these gifts put you off changing the name if you're unsure!

I don't personally like Millie, I find it a bit of a "meh" name, just not my taste. I love Eliza!

Just wanted to say, don't let a few personalised gifts sway you!!!

I like Millie 😊 Also like the idea of Emily shortened to Millie. Although I'm early 30s so know a lot of Emilys as was very common in '89/90!

Often you think of something immediately, try a million others as convince yourself it’s not right and go back on it anyway. You can definitely overthink it. It always feels weird naming a human at first but it’s a nice name.

If you're not sure about Millie but think you might come back to it then I agree with PPs that it would be an idea to go for one of the (many) names that could easily abbreviate to Millie.

Alternatively, names that I think have a similar vibe to Millie:
Annie, Abbie, Avery, Bonnie, Betsy, Betty, Connie, Callie, Cassie, Carrie, Casey, Daisy, Darcey, Dulcie, Elodie, Ellie, Evie, Elsie, Esme, Edie, Frankie, Gracie, Georgie, Halle, Holly, Heidi, Hebe, Ivy, Indie, Jessie, Josie, Jodie, Katie, Kitty, Lily, Lucy, Leonie, Lexie, Lacey, Libby, Lottie, Misty, Molly, Miley, Macey, Marnie, Melody, Nancy, Nellie, Poppy, Polly, Penny, Ruby, Rosie, Romy, Remi, Riley, Sophie, Sadie, Sydney, Tilly, Tessie, Tammy, Vivi, Winnie, Zoe

I think Millie is nice as a nn but not a full name, it could be short for..

Millicent Eliza
Emily Eliza
Camilla Eliza
Melinda
Melissa
Romilly
Amanda - Milly sometimes used as a nn, not sure why

Or Amelia/Emilia, but then Elizabeth would be better as the mn

Otherwise Polly, Molly, Minnie, Marnie - Minnie at least really needs a full name -

What about

Milleah (Mil - leah) Eliza

Amillie Eliza

Millina Eliza

Minnie Eliza

Or similar names

Emmaline Eliza

Bonnie Eliza

Aubrey Eliza

Cilla Eliza

Millie is lovely, though I think I would personally spell it Milly. I actually don't know any Millie's / Milly's.

I like it as a stand alone name or as a NN for Millicent / Amelia

I also like Eliza.

I will suggest Ginny and Molly as they have a similar sound / feel

Eliza would be a lovely first name, if you like Eliza why keep it for a middle name if you dont have a first name you are absolutely 100% on.

DS was going to be Hugo until he was born. He wasn't a Hugo. (it was my 2nd choice tbf but not a hill I'd have died on). Had it sorted by the time he was 10 hours old. With my first choice. Similar with DD. DH wanted Imogen, I wanted Isabel. Decided she was something else again in abt 10 hours.

Keep an open mind and good luck.

I'm not keen on Millie.
Lottie for Charlotte is nice imo.
Or Eliza as a first name is beautiful.

I prefer Milly with a y, less twee.
