What do you think of the name Millicent? It's an old French name that means "strength". There are related names like "Melissa" and "Melisande".

wow, i really like melisande. i'd never heard that name before!

Melisande is a French version of Melissa.

Millicent is a bit old sounding to me, and it makes me think of Millicent Bulstrode in Harry Potter. It's probably ready for a comeback, I'll bet, but it's not my style.

Melisande is pretty.

I'm not a major fan of Millicent because it makes me think of someone mean and gray, but I'm weirdly fond of the nickname Millie.

Millicent is beautiful. Not my style personally, but is there anything cuter than a little girl named Millie?

I actually even like Mildred, too.

I immediately thought HP also.

I like Millicent. My friend named her daughter Camille and that's pretty too. Or Camilla.

I think Millicent is going to be a more popular name soon.

It makes me think of Maleficent, which until I just looked it up, I assumed was spelled Millificent. Now I know it's not, but I still think of that. It makes more sense spelled with a "mal" at the front (bad, in Latin), as it's the villain in Sleeping Beauty and they're not trying to be subtle about her nature.

My name is Melissa. I LOVE the name Melisande!! But when I hear Millicent, I always think of the evil queen from Sleeping Beauty...
