Yay - but only if it's a nn

Yay-ish...

It's really cute. But I don't like it as a full name. It's great as a nn.

I love it!

But I prefer it as a nickname for a more formal name such as Matilda, Milla, Camilla, Amelia, Emilia...

Nay!

It's so popular / trendy here in England I've really grown to dislike it.

Ditto.

Nay because it's kinda cute on a small child but can you imagine an adult woman introducing herself at work as Millie? Doesn't do it for me!

Yay, but as a nn for Amelia or Camille.

Yay!

Love it! I think it is gorgeous. I like it as a nn for Millicent or Emmeline

Nay. It reminds me of an annoying character on Freaks and Geeks. One of the greatest shows ever, but not a character I'd like associated with my child. Most people wouldn't have that association with the name, of course.

"Nay" as a formal name in itself. I prefer it as a nickname for Millicent, which I think is lovely.

not by itself

i have a friend whose baby is named Amelia and she calls her Millie. i just don't love it. It's a little too "cutesy" for me. i think as a nn for Amelia it would be okay. i love Amelia.

Yea

(it's yea and nay, not yay and nay . . . yea is pronounced 'yay')

I have friends with a daughter named Millicent Kathleen "Millie". I think it's cute.

I don't like Millie on its own, however, only as a nickname. It's too lightweight and childish as a full name.

"Everything today is thoroughly modern..."

...Is what I think of when I hear the name. I didn't used to like it, but now I don't mind it for someone else's child (nn or full name). If I knew her, she'd hear a lot of "Beat the drums 'cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!" from me, though. ;)

Yay!

As a nn though.

I adore Millie-- as a nn. Camille, Amelia, Millicent(love).

Big yay, but only as a NN, not by itself.

It sounds liek either an old lady or a pet or farmyard animal.

I asked this of some family awhile back and I got:

"Remind me of a millipede"
"Reminds me of meal worms"
"Reminds me of the band Millie Vanilli" (Which I don't even think is the name of that band from a long time ago)

Personally, I find it cute, but it is better as a nn.

It was the name of that band...that's right! Thanks!
