Help[Opinions] Mildred
As a kid, I never really liked this name - though I assumed it was what Milly / Millie was short for whenever I encountered it, and I didn't mind Milly. But I thought Mildred sounded old-fashioned and harsh, and waved it away.
Only very recently have I started to appreciate the name, and that's because my palate has slowly, over the last year or so, become less "flowery" and a little bit... stiffer? More solid? Reinforced with buckram? Nor sure exactly what happened, but it did; and now all of a sudden I like names like Edith (which I once had a bizarre dream about: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/5298883), Harriet, and Mildred.
What's more, I wouldn't use Milly as a nickname, even though that was the nickname I liked when I was much younger. Nah... I'd opt for Dreda.
Anyway, wdyt of Mildred?
