Millicent
Let’s be honest about this name: Millicent is primarily included for its delightful nickname. One notable Millicent was Millicent Fawcett, a prominent advocate for women’s suffrage from 1897 to 1919. Now that we’ve acknowledged our fondness for the nickname Millie, it’s worth mentioning that we also appreciate girls’ names associated with strength. The French meaning of this name is “brave strength,” and what woman wouldn’t want a bit of that? There are many famous Millies out there, starting with Millie Small and Millie Perkins. Millie Jackson is another well-known figure, though interestingly, none of them were born Millicent. They’re just Millies!

Cora
Thanks to the hit TV series “Downton Abbey,” the name Cora is experiencing a significant revival! We couldn’t be happier about this trend, as we adore both the name and the character. With Greek origins meaning “maiden,” many fans of the show likely associate Cora with the elegant and lovely matriarch, Cora Crawley. What more could you ask for in an inspiring name? On the list of notable bearers, we find Koko Taylor, who was born Cora. Additionally, Cora Skinner and Cora Sue Collins, who graced our screens in the 1920s, add to the legacy of this charming name.
