Millie: 4,739 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 297 births in 2013.
Millie began as a pet form of Millicent or Mildred, both rooted in Germanic and Old English elements meaning “strength” and “mild strength” respectively, though it now stands firmly on its own as an independent name. The most famous modern bearer is Millie Bobby Brown, the English actress known worldwide as Eleven in Stranger Things. In the early 20th century, silent-film star Millie De Leon helped popularise the name. There are no major places directly named for a Millie, but the name shares its linguistic roots with the German name Amalia. A further note: Millie has been a consistent favourite in Scotland since the 1990s, often ranking in the top 50 for girls, beloved for its cheerful, vintage charm.
