Amelia/Millie
I totally forgot to mention this until now. I told my grandmother about the name dream I had where my friend named her baby Henrietta Lenore "Hettie". My grandmother said "I hope she's not really going to name her that because it sounds old". I told her that my friend wants to name a future daughter Amelia "Millie" because her name is Amy and it would honor herself. Her response was "Amelia and Millie both sound old too". I told her that "old" names are making a comeback.

I love Amelia nn Milly, or just Millie on it's own as a full name.
I like Amelia/Millie. I do think they sound a little "old," but they also sound cute (if that helps to even it out a little ...) Plus, Amelia Earhart is a nice role model.
Henrietta Lenore I'm not as fond of, but Hettie is cute. The baby might get Henry as a nn instead, though. The names do flow well together, and Lenore has a lot of cool literary references. But I'm still not sure I could give a baby the name.
