I looove it, but it’s probably too dated to use… right? Tell me I’m wrong please. It’s on my list regardless. It’s strong, cool, and Millie is so cute!

And “Millie” is adorable as a nickname.

Wasn't a fan at first but now I love this name! It fits my soon to be one year old grandaughter perfectly! Milly was also her great grandma's name.

Personally have no issue with this name and if I meet a Millicent I’ll complement their name since it is very unique and pretty but also strong. The first time I heard someone with this name I misheard 5 times and thought they said Malificent - as in the Disney villain. I think that’s a pretty cool connection and I’d be proud to be a powerful dragon creature thingy.

I've seen a lot of people mention this name on forums and such lately. It would not surprise me if it made a comeback sometime soon. I'm neutral towards the name myself, although I would much rather meet a little Millicent instead of yet another Sophia or Madison.

Millicent is one of Donald Duck's childhood friends. She's very determined to become rich, and her idol is of course Scrooge McDuck. When she becomes an adult, she wants to appear on economy and finance magazines.
Her name really suits her personality.

Millicent seems like a super nice name to me, maybe it's because I prefer classic names to modern ones, but yes, Millicent has style. I do not know why I imagine a young woman of high class, beautiful, talented and mature. I think it is a name that ages well and has very cute nicknames, like Millie, Liz, Lizzy or Mimi. Yes, parents should start to take it more into account.

This name had some popularity many decades ago. Not used much anymore. So, it's rare and unusual. Sounds a little bit too old, but the name itself is good. I like it! Millicent has class.

My name's Millicent and I've always liked my name just the way it is, but all throughout my life people have called me Millie. Especially in school, they'd just read the name Millicent and automatically assume that I went by Millie. I have nothing against it, it just didn't fit me plus my nickname was always Enna, so I didn't need another one. As a child I loved my name because it was Barbie's middle name and I was a little obsessed. I've only ever met one other Millicent in my life, it's interesting to read about other Millicents out there...

My name can carry on some very interesting conversations. I find it odd that common people can not pronounce the simplicity of Millicent. I usually tell people it's pronounced: Milli-Cent Like Milli-meter or Centi-Meter & the kicker is to tell people to "smile" saying Millicent to pronounce correctly.
Of course I get Maleficent -- Or Angelina (Jolie) which I LOVE!
Social media has allowed me to connect with other Millicent's... I find it fabulous to have such a different/uncommon name.

I used to really dislike this name - I felt like it had kind of a cold air to it, haughty and unfeeling. J.K. Rowling used it for a mean Slytherine girl (Millicent Bulstrode - man, Rowling can name a character!), and it also sounded a bit like Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. So for the longest time this was a no-go.
Strangely, however, I've been thinking about this name. And even more strangely... I kind of like it. It has a bit of quirky charm that I pinpoint as being from its similarities to the French "mille" (thousand - same in Latin) and "cent" (hundred - "centum" in Latin). So if you speak French (or know your Latin roots), then Millicent looks like "thousand hundred." I don't know, I thought that was funny.

Whenever I hear Millicent, I personally think of a motherly, sophisticated, middle-aged, and wealthy widow.

Love this name! Super cool sounding. However, I think it would be one of those names that would catch people off guard and have them say: How do you spell that? But still get the spelling wrong. I don't know, I'm torn.

This name is powerful, possibly a good candidate for some sort of rock/metal singer.
If it's too much, Millie is fine (though has a completely different feel).

My name is Millicent and I'm 30 years old. Growing up with this name has been lovely. Yes, people call me Millie but I don't mind it. Although as an adult I've always preferred Millicent. People who meet me usually comment on how nice and original my name is, which is nice. I do consider it to be a very strong name. If it wasn't my name I would be sure to name my daughter Millicent. It's nice that no one knows anyone named Millicent and it's also nice that it's not too unusual but still not common at all. Overall, I've loved growing up with this name and can honestly say I've never been made fun of for it. Malefacent is definitely a name people say my name reminds them of, especially since the newly released movie with Angelina Jolie but I consider it a compliment.

On an episode of "The Brady Bunch" Melissa Sue Anderson (Mary on Little House on the Prairie), played a character named Millicent. I believe that she was a "love interest" for Bobby Brady.

This name just sounds very... "mean" to me. It could be because of the evil Maleficent in "Sleeping Beauty," but something about this name seems malevolent. I can't put my finger on it.

Mmm. Millicent makes me think of luxury and sweetness. Something about the way the sounds fall makes me think of a fur coat tumbling onto the ground. Yes, seriously!
There is also something vaguely numerical about it, and it is quite a grand name, but luckily it has the nickname Millie (very popular right now in the UK), which will ensure that a little Millicent fits in!

I love the sound of this and the way it looks. I think it's a beautiful strong name that would be wonderful for a child or a grown up. The nickname Millie puts me off though. I think I'd go with Mila if I had to pick one.

My middle name is Millicent and I rather like it. If you like the name but don't want your daughter tagged as 'Silly Milly' (mom's reason for vetoing it as a first name), consider it as a middle name.

I love this name because of its strength, I love strong female names, however it reminds me of the name of that evil lady in Sleeping Beauty. It also reminds me of mean old aunts. However that doesn't put me off.
