HelpRe: Mildred
in reply to a message by erb816
Mildred has been one of the names I've liked a lot... until now. Now it seems a little harsh and appalling to me. Interestingly enough, during that time I used to dislike Millicent and now I have it on my PNL. It has grown on me recently.
Anyway, back to Mildred - I think the nickname Millie or even Mila (pronounced as MEE-la) softens it. Dreda is not that bad, honestly, but I prefer the former. And regarding the full name, I like Mildrède the most, which is the French form.
