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 love it!

Love it

I like it. Millicent Margaret Amanda was always a fave. Also Maude and Mildred (can you tell which books I read and a kid)

I think they are all due a revival. Much better than all these soppy flower names. Something with a bit of power!

I know a Millicent. She hates it and is always Millie.

A good name and not harsh at all. I suspect for many people it's a bit ahead of the trend, though I think it's a name that is starting to be noticed now. That's why you will get some people reacting negatively as they still see it as an outdated old lady name. Like Iris or Mabel was viewed a little while back before they became mainstream.

It wouldn't make my short list, but if I heard of a child called it, I'd think it was fantastic.

It's an established, known name, so if you like it, go for it. It doesn't matter of some people dislike it - you're never going to find a name everyone likes.

I also love the fact it doesn't end with an 'a' or 'ie'/'y' as pretty much all girls' names do these days. Very distinctive.

I love it. I know a young Millicent who goes by Mimi, if you want an alternative to Millie as a NN.

I don't like it (bad fictional book character), but if you've loved it forever do what you want, it's your baby and no one elses (well except DP)

I knew a lovely lady called Millicent so it's thumbs up from me. She was always know as Millie.

I really like it. It's a proper girls name and hasn't really been used much.

I like it a lot but be warned that thanks to the popularity of Amelia there are a lot of Millies about.

I think it's lovely. Made me think of Millicent Martin.

Millicent is ok but Milli is overused.

I love it!

Beautiful name

Horrible name, very witchy and harsh sounding. Millie isn't much better (in a completely different way!), it's very wishy washy and nothingy.

Have to agree that she'll be Millie to everyone else and although very pretty, Millie/Lily/Ellie type nanes have been done to death. Sorry.

Love it. Reminds me of the really sweet character on One Tree Hill

My great aunt was Millicent, born in 1896. She hated it and was always called Millie!
