Camilla or Camille

Melisande

---

I just thought of Melisande. I love that name!

Milena, Milada, Milusha, Miloslava.

I like the name Ludmila -- I think that would work! It's not to everyone's taste, though... Amélie with the nn Millie would work, but it seems a little stretching it. Maybe I just like Amelie better as a full name.

---

Maybe:
Camellia
Melitta

Camilla, Maximiliana, Maximilienne

My personal favorite is Matilda. Some other ideas though:
Amelia
Camilla
Camille
Emilia
Milena

Milly is a darling nn. You've already gotten so many great suggestions. Sorry for any repeats:

---

Melisande (variant of Millicent)
Melody
Emily / Emilie / Emilia / Amelie / Emiliane / Emiliana (yes, Amelie, nn Millie, works perfectly well!)
Jamila
Camille / Camilla
Marcelline
Camellia
Mireille
Mila / Mileva (Einstein's first wife)
Muriel
Melanie
Imelda
Mary / Marisol (if Molly can be a nn, I think Milly has just as much of a claim, harrumph)
Melissa
Marilla
Carmel / Carmella
Magdalene / Madeleine
Sulis Minerva
Demelza
Domitilla
Olympia (!)
Emmeline
Michaela / Miguela
Matilda
Mahalia
Florimel
Wilhelmina / Wilmotine / Wilmotina (a stretch, but it could still work)

---

Obviously, my tolerance for nns that aren't scientifically drawn from teh formal name is quite high. So take some of these will a grain of salt and pepper. Good luck in your search!

How about Romilly?

---

If I had to use Millie, I would use Romilly nn Millie/ Milly (although I prefer Romilly as-is).

---

Amelie nn Millie works, but again, I much prefer Amelie without any nn.

I find Millicent rather cute in an old way, Mildred is definitely a no-no. I have only ever met two other Millies, one is Millicent and one is Amelia. I have never liked Amelia haven't the nickname Millie but I think Amelie works better depending on how you pronounce it.

---

As an end-note: Millie is my full name, no nickname here for me. And I love it as my name personally, I think Millie is brilliant and simple, and a name in it's own right. But I am biased.

Someone I've met a couple of times has a daughter named Emilia "Millie". I think Amélie works too.

---

And perhaps Melina? I've heard of Mellie is a nickname for it, so why not Millie?

Emilia or Camilla would be my choices.

I like Emilia or Camilla as full names for Millie.

My favorites are Emilia and Amelia. I also like Camilla.

I know three Millies, although one of them is a Milly. Two are Amelia and one is Millicent. I like Amelia best as a full name for Millie, Camilla is quite nice too. Amelie definitely works.

How about Camille?

Matilda
Emilia
Camille
Camilla
Milena

Well...maybe Matilda would work. Nns for Matilda traditionally are Mattie or Tillie so I think doing Millie would work for it too. :)
