Millicent - too old fashioned, or come full circle?

Trying to avoid the top 100 names - Millicent for a little girl, but shorten to the better-known Millie for everyday?

I like it but Dh says it reminds him of Millitant - the big, aggressive, dungaree-wearing lesbian who used to appear in the Viz comic.

It always makes me think of that prize cow made up to be the female paragon of virture by that misogynist bastard Henry James.

So he ruined that name for me.

Plus I knew a gal called Penny, real name Millicent, and she was a royal bitch who thought she could sleep with my ex h even though she was so old I-don't-think-so-you-pathetic-slag-trying-to-pull-married-men.

No, don't name your daughter this.
