HelpRe: Millicent or Mildred? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like them both but they're so different.
Mildred is charming, but it's also antiquated in this modern world of imagey names chosen for sound - it suffers from word-associations people make. It doesn't bother me, but I don't think I'd name a child this, not yet anyway.
Millicent is prissier and also antiquated but has a shinier image for me. I don't like the cent part and vastly prefer it spelled Melisant. Or even Millisent would be better. But Millicent seems more to me like it could be a baby name than Mildred, at any rate.
Melisant > Mildred > Millicent according to my taste
Melisant > Millicent > Mildred for a baby
