Hi all,
I absolutely adore the name Millie, but my friend says it sounds like a cow. I even crocheted a rag doll and called it Millie. Also, it must be spelled Millie NOT Milly, the former is really sweet, the latter is just very very middle aged.

If you're constantly talking about the name and have it tattooed on you - yabu

If it's a name you simply like - yanbu

Overall yab pretty weird to obsess over a name Confused.

I think it’s really dull, sorry. And massively over used. There are so many Millie’s in the playground it’s not a name I could get excited about.

ilovedjerrymore · 07/03/2020 18:21

It’s a girls name nice enough nothing wrong with it. Seems to be VERY popular know at least 10 inside my child’s school and know about 5 outside who are friends kids or friends of friends.
Also know a few dogs called Millie.

The making a doll and naming it Millie is a bit...Hmm

YABU to be obsessed - it's just a name.

Dylaninthemovies1 · 07/03/2020 18:31

It’s a thoroughly modern name

I could never understand how it was a diminutive of Amanda.

elQuintoConyo · 07/03/2020 18:37

Vanilli?

isabellerossignol · 07/03/2020 18:38

Millie is pretty insulting where I'm from, so I've never met a real life person who is actually called Millie.

BIankets · 07/03/2020 18:45

I’m a Milly. Moo!!

mytypeonpaper · 07/03/2020 18:49

My sister is a Millie- full name Amelia. I like it it's cute. It does get shortened to mill a lot

PawPawNoodle · 07/03/2020 19:01

@Blankets are you very, very middle aged?

wobblywinelover · 07/03/2020 19:03

Flippin heck you sound fun at parties OP. Surely you have better to think about? Sooo boring

Bezalelle · 07/03/2020 19:09

It's a diminutive of Amanda because of Milly Molly Mandy.
