All the Milly's that I know are either just Milly, or Camilla or Emily or Amelia. The younger ones (under 10) don't tend to have a fuller name. That makes sense here as names like Alfie, Archie and Ellie top UK popularity charts.
I think people are probably after Mildred just so they can use Milly, which does have a trendy sound unlike the heavy Mildred.
Millicent sounds too medicinal to me and Milbrey sounds like an ugly surname. I also dislike the sound of Aubrey so maybe that's just me.
I'm 25 and in the UK.
