原文: It's not a bad name, I quite like the sound of it (though I admit, I like strange names). It is outdated, though, but just think... Names that are popular today (Emma, Olivia, Avery, Chloe, etc.) will be considered old-fashioned a few decades from now. Everybody will have or know people with grandmas with these names, making them seem dated. Unfortunate, but that's the way it goes.
原文: My husband gave that name to my gal but it sounded so bad to me at first, like it's for grandma's, but later I realized it's a fine name and I call my gal 'Red' and in my country (Uganda Africa) it's not common and people think it's really a nice name.

翻译文: 2015年在美国出生的86名女孩被称为“Mildred”。
原文: The name Mildred was given to 86 girls born in the US in 2015.
原文: Mildred Hillary Davis (February 22, 1901 – August 18, 1969) was an American actress who appeared in many of Harold Lloyd's classic silent comedies and eventually became his wife.
原文: The ancient Germanic name Mildred was common among all West Germanic cultures. The German form of the name was (and is) Miltraud. The first president of the United States, George Washington, had a sister or daughter named Mildred, well before the large-scale revival of the name in the 19th century.
原文: Not a fan. Makes me think of an old farmer's wife. I like Mathilda better--which reminds me a bit of Mildred. I wouldn't name a little girl Mildred, not with all of the thousands of beautiful names out there. A name that I think should be retired.

翻译文: 如果它是一个旧名称怎么办?它如此美丽,优雅,非常优雅。我认为这只是为上层阶级的人。

翻译文: 我喜欢这个惊人的,美丽的名字。 Mildred非常优雅。 :)
原文: I love this amazing, beautiful name. Mildred is very classy. :)
原文: This name will forever sound ominous to me because of the "dred" part. Mildred honestly makes me picture some girl who appears all sweet and innocent but secretly murders people (has a very, very, very dark side).

翻译文: 是的,听起来像一个老太太的名字,但我有点喜欢它仍然。
原文: Yeah, it sounds like an old lady name, but I kinda like it still.
原文: Well, my name is Mildred and I ain't granny, nor some old woman. I'm a 14 year old. Yeah, it is a very uncommon name and indeed kinda weird. This name is very uncommon in my country and I doubt anybody has it other than me. (also, I've never known someone with this name.. I'd be glad to, though) but it's cool you know, having such a unique name because it's awkward when you have a name like Jessica or Grace or any other common names and there's also a lot of your friends named after it too. Like when someone asked 'do you know Jessica?' 'Jessica who? Jessica Simpson or Johnson or Smith?' lol aaaawkward. Yes I think Mildred isn't an ugly name, it's just uncommon. Mildred is one of a kind!
原文: I very much love the name Mildred not only because I'm called Mildred but also because of the meaning of the name (gentle strength) It's spelling looks more like "Mild Red". I'm certainly no old lady or granny as I'm 22 years old and currently at Law school. Back in my secondary school days I had 4 classmates bearing the name Mildred. It may be termed as an old fashioned, dreaded name but there're lots of educated young Mildred's out there. My friends and family call me 'MiMie'. It's a nice name people, feel free to name your children Mildred. Xoxo.

翻译文: 我喜欢这个名字。 “dred”部分不打扰我。这是我最喜欢的“m”名字后我自己的名字。
原文: I love this name. The "dred" part doesn't bother me. It's my favorite "m" name after my own name.
原文: I don't like Millie anymore, at least not very much. Plus it seems it might be overused in the UK. But I just love this gorgeous Mildred. Because people think its ugly, it would have a certain kind of daring to it, and I'm sure people would eventually get used to it and grow to like its sound. And I have never known any old ladies (or anyone) with this name. The one association I have is with a cute little girl on the early Our Gang comedies, when they were still silent, I think.
原文: Beautiful meaning. Shame about the fusty, mildew/dread sound. Maybe one day it will be fashionable again among trendsetters, but I can't imagine that happening anytime soon.

翻译文: 米尔德德听起来像一个老奶奶在摇椅上的名字。还是,我喜欢的意思,至少你可以称为女孩米里。
原文: Mildred sounds like the name of an old granny in a rocking chair. Still, I like the meaning, and at least you can call the girl Millie.
原文: The thing that most people fail to realise is that people with 'granny' or 'dated' or 'old-fashioned' names were children once. These names only sound old to you all because they are not popular at the present time. Personally, I think Mildred is a nice name. It has a warm, maternal feel to it but it is not an old lady name only.
原文: Beautiful! Just love it! I can't see why many seem to hate it. Millie or Milly is nice for a nickname, but most of the time I would want to be called Mildred. I like the meaning, and also that it looks like "mild red".
原文: A famous bearer was influential 1930s jazz singer Mildred Bailey (1908 - 1951). Known as "Mrs. Swing", her popular songs included "Please Be Kind", "Darn That Dream", and "Says My Heart".
原文: This name is spunky and is bound to pop up now and then in the next few years in line with the trend toward older, mustier names with cutting-edge baby namers.
原文: It goes without saying that this name is outdated. I find it to be one of the ugliest names out there. It makes me think of the word "dread". The only good thing is that you can get the cute nickname Millie out of it.
原文: I might find this name cute and vintage-sounding, if not for the fact that I cannot read it without thinking something along the lines of "dreaded mildew."

翻译文: 米尔德雷德让我想起一个聪明,年轻,十几岁的女孩。 :)
原文: Mildred reminds me of a sensible, young, teenage girl. :)
原文: Well, Mildred sure beats all these horrible modern names that are coming up from everywhere. Mercedes, Roxy, Jazz, Trixie Bell. Ugh. And in my opinion, Mildred doesn't sound only like a granny name, it also reminds of a cute little girl from the 1920's. To some people that may be the complete opposite of cute, but to me I think it's attractive.
原文: On June 17, 1880, twin sisters Mildred Widman Philippi and Mary Widman Franzini are born in St. Louis, Missouri. Both live to be 104 years old with Mildred passing away first on May 4, 1985.
原文: Hopelessly old-fashioned. In addition to reminding me of old women, it makes me think of wallflower-y girls in old-fashioned and loose-fitting clothes. It's not a very pretty name.

翻译文: 我喜欢它,但它是日期,所以我不会使用它。
原文: I like it but it is dated so I will not use it.
原文: My car's name is Mildred. I love the fact that it's a bit clunky and uncool, yet still sounds European. My car is a 1994 Peugeot 306 so it suits perfectly.
原文: This name is borne by Nurse Mildred Ratched in Ken Kesey's 1962 novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", its 1963 stage adaptation, and its acclaimed 1975 film adaptation. On stage, she was portrayed by such actresses as Janet Ward, Amy Morton, and Amanda Magnavita. In the film, she was portrayed by Louise Fletcher, who won an Academy Award for the performance. In the story, she is the administrative nurse of the Salem, Oregon State Hospital.

翻译文: 我认为这是一个美丽的名字,但它是不幸的是相当过时,令人回味的老年人。
原文: I think it's a beautiful name, but it is unfortunately quite out of date and evocative of senior citizens.

翻译文: 所有这些老夫人的东西是什么? Mildred的一个美丽的名字!我喜欢它!
原文: What's with all this old lady stuff? Mildred's a beautiful name! I love it!
原文: Mildred Montag was the wife of Guy Montag in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. She was a shell of a person, whose life was meaningless because of technology. Not a good connotation for a little girl.
原文: While it was in the top 10 for girls in the United States in the first three decades of the 20th century, it was also used on rare occasions as a boy's name there in the 1900s and 1910s, but had by the 1920s dropped out of the boys' top 1,000 and is virtually unknown in that role today.
原文: Supposing this name doesn't become cool again even in 20 years time? Supposing our granddaughters are not named Mildred or Edna but Janet or Carol or Maureen if names like Violet, Elizabeth, and Hannah are popular at the present time? Some of the 1900s to 1930s - excluding Mildred - may be all the rage now, but I think more sooner than later it will be 1940s and 1950s names in 20 years' time.

翻译文: 当你读它看起来像“温和的红色”,但我不应该说,因为我有一个朋友名为Mildred。
原文: When you read it it looks like "mild red" but I should not be saying that because I have a friend named Mildred.
原文: And it is quite likely that some of the posters who have made negative comments on this site about the name Mildred will have granddaughters with the name, because in about 20 years it's probably going to start sounding "cool" again to a lot of people then in their 20s. :)
原文: Mildred Hubble is the cool young heroine of The Worst Witch books by Jill Murphy. The character was played by Georgina Sherrington in the TV series based on the books.
原文: I cannot see this name on a little girl but I can see it on a little old lady with a walking stick. It would take smoking marijuana for ANYONE to call a child Mildred, despite the cute nickname of Millie, used in its own right and also associated with other names such as Millicent, Emily, and Amelia.
原文: I like this name because it has such a vintage feel to it and it's one of the last names you'd expect to see on a young girl. I think a little Mildred would be unique and adorable! I can't be the only one can I?

翻译文: Mildred是海伦·凯勒的姐姐的名字。我在“奇迹工人”中学到了这一点。
原文: Mildred is the name of Helen Keller's sister. I learned this in the "Miracle Worker".
原文: When I hear this name, it reminds me of some old lady with 16 cats whose husband died in World War II who has some sister named Mary who comes to check on her. No offense to any body who has the name, though I doubt any body here does.
原文: Hey! What's all this about it being an old lady name? It just reminds you of old ladies because that's when they were given the name, when they were young and it was popular, but there is no reason to relate this name to them. It is a very pretty name if you think it that, and Millie makes a cute nickname!
原文: Mildred Pierce was a novel by James. M. Cain. It was later made into a film in 1945 starring Joan Crawford as the character of the same name.
