Millicent is one of those standard "old woman" names for me, like
Beatrice and
Mildred and
Gladys. Try as I might I can't shake that image of them.
Millie, too, is just old. Well, either old or the name of people's dogs.
Fern I like. It's sweet and simple, IMO.
Fiona has the same feeling as
Fern to me.
Ah, the prayers of millions, how
they must fight and destroy each other
on their way to the throne of God.
