Mildred is my paternal Grandmother's name and she's one of my favorite people ever. Do you think
Mildred is hopelessly dated and will never come back in? Even by the time I have kids which is probably 7 or more years down the line? I'd use the nickname
Millie which is the nickname she uses, and
Millie doesn't seem quite as bad does it?
Possibly as a middle name if it's unbearable for a first..
Anna Mildred?
Caroline :-)

Like a shoebox and photographs with sepia-toned loving."
