  I don't think she'd get picked on - Millie is a great nickname if she wanted something shorter. I was teased pretty bad as a kid because of my last name (among other things) and the only thing I could think of that they could tease about would be Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty - and she was recently played by Angelina Jolie...

  I lurk on Baby Names, and I don't see their comments as cruel. And really, strangers on the Internet are going to tell you the truth. Just because no one in real life will tell you (hypothetical you here...) that your name choice of Jaxon Flaxon Waxon is awful and will have your kid ridiculed, doesn't mean that it's not true. If anything, the Baby Names board is a good way to see what everyone in your real life is probably THINKING, but won't tell you. 
  
  That aside, I don't think your name choice of Millicent would be ridiculed there. It's a real name, spelled correctly. People may tell you it's not their style, but that's not cruel. I don't like the full name, Millicent, personally, but I think the nickname of Millie is cute. It's a little old fashioned, but that's just a preference thing.

  I love it. Honestly, I think kids could get picked on for just about any name. Its good that you are able to start thinking about names. After MC, i refused to even think about it, but we are starting a little bit by bit.

  You guys are right. I'm being a bit sensitive. I'll probably wait to throw it up over there when and if we're lucky enough to get pregnant again. But thanks for the distraction now!

  When we were pregnant, DH and I decided to not share our preferred names with anyone until baby was born. People have so many opinions, and I am one of those people that focus on the negatives rather than the positives. Plus, I think the only ones that matter are your and DH, the parents
  
  BTW I also agree that Millie is cute. A professor in my grad school had that name and her nickname was Mimi. She was wonderful.

  I like it. It reminds me of OTH which is one of my favorite shows.
