HelpRe: Millicent
in reply to a message by Jagoda
I love Millicent - more to due to its lengthy history and international spelling & phonetic variations - Millie & Mélisande (Melisond); Amalasuintha, Sondra, Sandra, even Sandy, Cindy & even Cynthia.
In some ways it is "as much" or 'more' "what one can do" with a name that brings as much fun and magic - as in so many cases our names are spoken (heard) presumably more often than read (seen).
Adults "Name-Bully" children by assigning a name - then calling the child some other form of it. Yet this would usually occur with little thought. A teacher may call the child a different form than the child's given name. A sports coach a different form; a catechism teacher a different form; a scouts leader, yet another different form - etcetera. Peers from any of these groups may ascertain one form of the name and continue using it. I may open new topic on this during the weekend.

I’m glad you like the name, but a lot of the others you mentioned aren’t related to it!
I think I understand your second and third paragraphs but I don’t think I understand the relevance of them here. I guess you’re going off on a tangent - I’d love to know how you got there. I know I’ve said it before, but please try to make your meaning and intention clearer.

Check your PMs.
This is all down to misunderstanding. I literally just wanted to understand what you were trying to say.
