Not a fan. It feels very heavy & dated.

It's a really weird name - look at it! - and the cent part reminds me of centipedes. Millicentipedes!
Having said that, I think it's a fun name with a certain strength to it, and I like it. I'd be delighted to see a little one.

My first thought: The neighbor who got the mumps from kissing Bobby in an episode of The Brady Bunch.

Another thought is that it's a street near me but the most important thought is that I like it. It's cute. :)

I recently met a 3-year-old Millicent Elise nn Millie, and I thought it was adorable!

I like Millicent. I tend to like names I refer to as "buttoned up," like this one. I would probably give her a nickname, Minnie or Millie, to make it less formal for everyday use.

I adore Millicent! It's cute-as-a-button and fusty at the same time, which is no unimpressive feat.

It's okay. A bit old-fashioned, but there's nothing wrong with that.

However, I absolutely can't stand the NN Millie. It's so bland and cutesy to me, like Nermal, the World's Cutest Kitten.

Little old lady. Sorry. :(

I like it but I don't think I would seriously use it.

I think it's middle name material. Something about Millicent is a little too antique for it to seem renewed to me. I like it - I think it's sort of a power name, actually. It's similar to Mildred in my mind, because it's an antique name that people seem to think is ugly. I don't think they are ugly, but I can certainly see why others might. Their sounds are very bright and steely, and I think they lack the puppy-energy and glamminess that are more fashionable at the moment.

I'm not a "Milly / Millie" fan, though. I'd rather it were Melicent, or better, Melisend. Melicent is on my PNL because it's in the database, and I want to like some form of the name just because it's really neat. I like the Mel part better than Mil and I think the last syllable should be quiet and soft at the end, like sun(d) not sharp like ssintt.

Millicent is very sweet, although I'm more drawn to Melisande. :-)

Someone on the boards (New_Chloe?) once came up with the nn Penny for Millicent. Get it, "-cent" / penny? It stuck with me because it was so clever. Of course darling Millie / Milly also works perfectly well.

I love Millicent, but definitely not a fan of Millie.

I can't like this name. It just reminds me of millipedes, which I happen to find really creepy. I'm not sure how I like the sound alone, it's maybe too sweet, similar to Felicity.

I quite like it. I think Millie is a cute nickname and Millicent is a much nicer option than Mildred.

Millions and excellence. Or millions and cents--spans both. Or thousands and thousands of cents. Close to heaven, saintly. Someone who both has her head in the clouds and excels.

Not a fan of Millie or Milly, even though they're trendy.

Rose Millicent is probably my top combo for a girl.

---

There's something about Millicent. It's old-fashioned and dainty but, at the same time, edgy and a little dark. I really like it quite a bit.

ETA: I see below that you love Romilly. I love it, too, and if I had a Rose Millicent, she'd most likely be Romilly. :)

Millicent's okay, but it's kind of dated. At least you can call her Millie.
