A badass name; it sounds like one for an evil queen in a Disney movie.

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.

A potential nickname for this name is 'Cindy'.

I love this name - way prettier than Mildred. When I first heard it, it reminded me of the Disney villain Maleficent as well.

Millicent isn't really pretty to me, but I like the nickname Millie.

Never heard of this name until a few minutes ago. I think it's very strange and hideous. I thought of currency too when I heard it.

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 was wondering if someone had the name same as I then I bumped into this site and having a unique name is incredible. No one in our school has the same name as I.

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.

I can see this name gaining popularity, especially with the renewed popularity of Millie as a nickname. Personally I think it looks and sounds too heavy and masculine for a little girl.

For some reason it reminds me of the word innocent. I still don't like this name though.

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.

I hate Millicent. It reminds me of mice and mean old women for some reason. Toss it in the recycling bin.

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.

A perfect name. I'd fear for the nickname Millie however, which is awfully common.

Actually, you were wrong on two things: 1. Barbie's real name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, and, 2. The villain in Sleeping Beauty's name is Maleficent.

Very old-fashioned. Millie is an okay nickname, but the ending of this name isn't pretty at all.

A famous bearer was American politician and diplomat Millicent Fenwick (February 25, 1910 – September 16, 1992). She was a long-time Republican member of the US House of Representatives from New Jersey. She was outspoken in her positions in favor of civil rights and the women's movement.

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.

Yes, it does remind me of the evil fairy person from 'Sleeping Beauty', which puts me off. I prefer Mildred personally.

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.

This was the name of the aunt in P.J Hogan's Peter Pan released in 2003. Aunt Millicent she was and now I am quite neutral about this name, half sounds sweet and youthful and half sounds old and nagging.
