Millicent?

[Labradorlover85]

I’ve always loved the name Miliicent. It’s always been a firm favourite of my and now the time has come when I can use it, all I keep hearing are negative comments from friends and family about ‘harsh sounding’ it is...

Please share your opinions

I really don't like it, sorry. Very harsh

Love it, like Millicent Garret Fawcett.

I don't think it's too harsh - and there's always Millie for something a little softer/cuter.

It's gorgeous

Milli = a thousandth
Cent = a hundred

So a very numerical name!

It's nice I like it

Really sorry OP but it makes me think militant.

I really like it, and Millie as a nn is nice as well.

I don't like it but there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not to my taste. Don't canvass too much opinion, just present the baby and the name simultaneously.

It’s fine, Millie is a nice shorting. If it flows with your surname then go for it.

I once said on a thread that I hated it & it reminded me of millipedes, but since then it's grown on me & I quite like it. It's not harsh sounding at all.

I love it, I'd use it . Would be known as Milly day to day though.

I love it. Melisende is similar.

I like it (and I’m very fussy with names)

It's not harsh sounding to me at all, and Millie is a nice nickname.

I wouldn't use it personally though as it sounds very posh to me

Don't use Milly if you live in NI. It's an insult there.

Would just be Milly

It makes me think of Millicent Bystander (Flushed Away joke)
...makes me laugh anyway.

Not nice OP, sorry.

But if you love it then go for it!

Love it but she would have to be really cool to pull it off!

love it

Love it too

@Wonderbag I instantly thought of Flushed Away as well.

Dd is Emily one of her nn is Millicent, wish I'd called her that....

I have a beautiful friend named Milica

I'd think about how much you love the names it will be shortened too more than how much you love the name as I expected most people may call her Millie
