To be obsessed with the name Millie?

[hellcarryingahandbag]

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.

I love the name. Yanbu!

I'm in NI and a Millie is basically a female chav (sorry for using the horrible c word) so that's all I can think about when I see it!

I know soooo many Millies I'm frankly bored of it. Sorry

Milly Molly Mandy's name was Millicent Margaret Amanda - Mandy is the diminutive of Amanda

It's very twee. Good name for a small dog or hamster.

It will always be a dog name to me, after knowing someone who had one!

YABU to be obsessed with it. It's a perfectly nice but very very common name. I must have taught about a gazilliion Millies (only one Milly, I think).

I used to quite like Millicent but gone off it when in one of the episodes of New Tricks (I think) there was a characted called that who was eaten by wild pigs

I don't like it, only because where I grew up it had a negative connotation. Working class girls who worked in the Mills were called Milly's.

The only Millie I've ever known was awful, so it's put me off, but by itself it's a nice name! Bit odd to obsess over it, but harmless.

Lovely name for a dog

I have a Millie but not in the UK so not common at all.
Don't think I was ever obsessed with a name though.

Change your name?

My dad has a goat called Millie.

Odd.

Not a fan to be honest- cute for a little girl but a bit weird for anyone post 20s.

Odd to be obsessing over a name. Really peculiar to be obsessing over a name when you're not even pregnant. Are you a teenager?

Millie is SO over-used.

My DD is Millie, but in her mid 20's, so she was the only one in her class, or perhaps school. She's since reverted to Amelia, much more grown up. I still love the name.

I like it. Are you thinking for your future DD or to change your name by deed poll?!

Don’t get why Millie is short for Amelia-surely it would be meelie? It’s a nice enough name but every second girl seems to be Millie or maisie at the moment

@atthebottomofthegarden, I don't know... I am in bad health, and I tend dwell on things. If I was to have a daughter, I would call her Millie.

I don't dislike the name, but it brings to mind Millie's Cookies.

It’s a weird thing to be obsessed about... what form does the obsession take? Do you think about it every day?

I like the name OP, but you're spelling it wrong .

I only know two girls with this name (one of which is DD) all the rest are of the dog and cat variety.

I love names that are adaptable, so DD has options to revert to the name on her BC as she gets older. It's not Amelia though.

@HoffiCoffi13 I'm not actually obsessed, it's just a figure of speech.
