[Opinions] Re: Millicent or Mildred?
in reply to a message by )(
Mildred reminds me of mildew and I can't unhear it. It's also hopelessly dated.So, Millicent.I like Millicent, anyway. It's very bright and cheerful. I was first introduced to the name when a friend of mine played a character named Millicent in a play, and it was my favorite long form of Millie / Milly for a while. Maybe it still is, I haven't thought about it.Milly and Millie are adorable.LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
