[Opinions] Re: Millicent and Fern
in reply to a message by Aine
Millicent is one of those standard "old woman" names for me, like Beatrice and Mildred and Gladys. Try as I might I can't shake that image of them. Millie, too, is just old. Well, either old or the name of people's dogs. Fern I like. It's sweet and simple, IMO. Fiona has the same feeling as Fern to me.
