Is Millie only even short for Millicent? Other long forms?

KateLouise

Hi there,

I quite like the name Millie but not a huge fan of Millicent. Is it ever short for anything else?

Thanks

My husband's great grandmother's name was Millie and I believe it was short for Mildred.  Not much better in my opinion.  You could probably get away with using Millie as a nickname for Emily or Amelia.

what about Camille or Camilla?

It could be a nickname for for Camille, Camilla, Mildred, Milana, Milena or Emilia. I like it as a nickname for Camille!

I think Millie could be a nn for Amelia, Emilia, Emeline, or Miliana, as well.

I know a Millie whose given name is Millaray. It's Argentinian, I think.

I like Millie as a NN for Camille.  So cute!

DH's sister is a Milly. Just Milly, not short for anything. You could do that?

I agree with this. Some names that are typically nn are just way better as the full first name. I have three friends (all sisters) and they are

Elizabeth = Liza

Amelia = Leah

Roberta = Bo

Not a one ever goes by their full name and have even considered changing it legally. Just a thought. I think Millie/Milly is really cute all on it's own.?

My Grandmother's name was Carmella (which I think is really pretty) and she always went by Millie.

I know two people we call Millie. One is short for Milagros and the other is Mildred.
