Well...maybe Matilda would work. Nns for Matilda traditionally are Mattie or Tillie so I think doing Millie would work for it too. :)

Matilda
Emilia
Camille
Camilla
Milena

How about Camille?

I know three Millies, although one of them is a Milly. Two are Amelia and one is Millicent. I like Amelia best as a full name for Millie, Camilla is quite nice too. Amelie definitely works.

My favorites are Emilia and Amelia. I also like Camilla.

I like Emilia or Camilla as full names for Millie.

Emilia or Camilla would be my choices.

Someone I've met a couple of times has a daughter named Emilia "Millie". I think Amélie works too.

---

And perhaps Melina? I've heard of Mellie is a nickname for it, so why not Millie?

I find Millicent rather cute in an old way, Mildred is definitely a no-no. I have only ever met two other Millies, one is Millicent and one is Amelia. I have never liked Amelia haven't the nickname Millie but I think Amelie works better depending on how you pronounce it.

---

As an end-note: Millie is my full name, no nickname here for me. And I love it as my name personally, I think Millie is brilliant and simple, and a name in it's own right. But I am biased.

How about Romilly?

---

If I had to use Millie, I would use Romilly nn Millie/ Milly (although I prefer Romilly as-is).

---

Amelie nn Millie works, but again, I much prefer Amelie without any nn.

Milly is a darling nn. You've already gotten so many great suggestions. Sorry for any repeats:

---

Melisande (variant of Millicent)
Melody
Emily / Emilie / Emilia / Amelie / Emiliane / Emiliana (yes, Amelie, nn Millie, works perfectly well!)
Jamila
Camille / Camilla
Marcelline
Camellia
Mireille
Mila / Mileva (Einstein's first wife)
Muriel
Melanie
Imelda
Mary / Marisol (if Molly can be a nn, I think Milly has just as much of a claim, harrumph)
Melissa
Marilla
Carmel / Carmella
Magdalene / Madeleine
Sulis Minerva
Demelza
Domitilla
Olympia (!)
Emmeline
Michaela / Miguela
Matilda
Mahalia
Florimel
Wilhelmina / Wilmotine / Wilmotina (a stretch, but it could still work)

---

Obviously, my tolerance for nns that aren't scientifically drawn from teh formal name is quite high. So take some of these will a grain of salt and pepper. Good luck in your search!

My personal favorite is Matilda. Some other ideas though:
Amelia
Camilla
Camille
Emilia
Milena

Camilla, Maximiliana, Maximilienne

I like the name Ludmila -- I think that would work! It's not to everyone's taste, though... Amélie with the nn Millie would work, but it seems a little stretching it. Maybe I just like Amelie better as a full name.

---

Maybe:
Camellia
Melitta

Milena, Milada, Milusha, Miloslava.

Melisande

---

I just thought of Melisande. I love that name!

Camilla or Camille

I'm not a huge fan of Millie, but it's cute for a little girl. I'm sure some of these have already been suggested, but how about:

---

Camilla/ Camille
Amelia/ Amelie/ Amilia
Emilia/ Emiliana/ Emily
Milena
Milada
Mileva
Milla/ Mila
Milana
Milada
Milka
Miloslava
Miljenka/ Milenka
Miroslava
Meliora
Milagros
Milanka
Milburga
Ludmila
Bohumila
Jamila
Radmila
Smiljana
Maximiliana/ Maximilia/ Maximilienne
Romilly
Romilda
Vlastimila
