"I grew up in Mexico, and everybody tells me that's a beautiful name because it is original, and "unique", and now I live in USA, and nobody notices the odd of my name, Oh! And I was born in Texas, on 1992 :) P.S. I dislike those comments. P.S. 2 I love my name. P.S. 3 I don't know if I explained alright :)" Dec. 14, 2011:

"My grandmother's name was Mildred. I love her so much, that i wish i could name a daughter after her, but it's too old! And, you can't say 'mildred' without saying 'dread', as in fear or loathe. Ew. Someone here suggested Amelia (both have the nickname Millie)... better to go with that." Apr. 7, 2009:

"If anyone wants to name a child of theirs Mildred, fine, except they'd have to be high on marijuana to do so." Dec. 25, 2008:

"I think this is out of date as both first name and second (even third) name. Try using Millicent instead - but then again, don't even use that, for I consider THAT name to be rather harsh as well. Millie, though, lacks the hideous image of both Mildred and Millicent, as does Amelia, which is another formal form of the diminutive Millie (often used independently)." May. 17, 2008:

"Mildred is a very old name.I can't imagine anyone under the age of 50 having it." Mar. 19, 2006:
