I do find the flow a little strange with the S sounds so close to each other, but it actually has a real charm to it! It somehow makes me appreciate Millicent a lot more. I think with it paired with the soft sweetness of Sarah, it takes the edge off of Millicent, while Millicent gives Sarah a stronger, more grown-up air.
Sarah Millicent might flow better, but I do think it would be a shame to hide a strong name like Millicent behind Sarah haha

It seems sturdy. More statuesque than popular Mildred or Edna but sorta like those or maybe Winifred. It has more flair than Mary or Margaret (although I like those; they do get repetitive). I can see it as being sweet and wise. I like the names together; Millicent can seem a bit cold but Sarah balances it.

I disagree with people who say Sarah Millicent sounds better; it's crisper with Millicent 1st imo. However, I do like the flow of Sarah Millicent Hermione (did you know that was the full name of one of Winston Churchill's daughters? I did not.)

I absolutely love Millicent! Together the two names sound too hissy.

I know what you mean! It is refreshing to see a Spicey, Rocelia, Epsy, and Jerusha in my family tree amongst the Elizabeths and Marys.

Sarah Millicent has a much better flow, but Millicent Sarah is not bad. I do personally prefer just Milly / Millie as a full name though.

I'm not a fan of Millicent, but I love Sarah.

I don't necessarily like them together, but they do not differ too much in style. Sarah Millicent, flows better though. Now the S sounds are not so close to each other. I am always happy to find something unexpected or unique on a genealogy website.

The names are so different in style that they clash with each other. Sarah Millicent has a nicer flow, too.

I really can't warm up to Millicent. Partly because of the only Millicent I've ever known, but actually I didn't like it before we met. Sarah probably isn't too bad, objectively; subjectively however, it's a non-starter. My father wanted to name me Sarah Anne, after his late mother. My mother had no intention of commemorating her late mother-in-law, whom she couldn't stand though my dad never knew that. And I am just not a Sarah.
Millicent Sarah? Sarah Millicent works better for me, regardless of Sarah. But it certainly shows enterprise and initiative in your long-ago family.

I can't stand Sarah as a first name, but it sparkles in the middle slot! I think I'd prefer the look of Millicent Sara, but it's still a beautifully susurrant combo.

I don't really like Millicent, but would have been ok at that time and i like Sarah

The flow is off. Sarah Millicent, while I don't like either name, would sound better.
Millicent Sarah sounds a lot like Millie sent Sarah something, or somewhere.
