My husband and I are expecting another daughter and have been struggling with finding a name. The name we like the best is [name_f]Millie[/name_f], but my husband goes by [name_u]Willie[/name_u]. Is this too weird and could it be too confusing? I rarely call my husband by his name, so I don’t think it will be too confusing in our own home, but I’m still apprehensive. Thoughts and advice?
It does seem a bit inconvenient, would you consider using [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as a nickname? It could be a nickname to [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Melina[/name_f], [name_f]Milena[/name_f], [name_f]Mileva[/name_f], [name_f]Mildred[/name_f], [name_u]Milan[/name_u], [name_f]Milou[/name_f], Almila etc
On the other hand, if you really love it and hate all longer forms, I think that you should go for it
So since my husband’s real name is [name_m]William[/name_m] does that make [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as the first name not quite as weird? My husband doesn’t like his name and halfway seriously said he could be called something else so we could use [name_f]Millie[/name_f] lol.
I think you can still use [name_f]Millie[/name_f] without a problem. If that’s the name you both love, go for it!
I don’t think it will be a big deal. My parents called me exclusively by my nickname growing up and that nickname, my mother’s name, and my dad’s name were all super close together. One letter difference. Me and my father’s names rhymed. It wasn’t too inconvenient.
I think that’s really cute.
I don’t think it’s a problem at all. You should definitely use [name_f]Millie[/name_f] if it’s your top choice. It’s a great name.
It’s actually kinda cute
It isn’t weird at all. I have a niece and nephew with rhyming names and it seems to work fine for them and their names would be spoken together much more often than a dad and his daughter. I hope you go ahead and use what you love.
Not a problem at all. Most of their lives they’ll each have their own existence, not being called in each others’ presence.
In the context of home, chances are he’s ‘Dad’ and she’s “[name_f]Millie[/name_f].” If you think it’s an issue for you, you can call one or both by a different nickname, or even by their first letter of their names. (In texts and sometimes even out loud we refer to the kids by their first initials.)
I don’t think it’s weird, but if he is not a fan of [name_u]Willie[/name_u] himself could he start going by [name_m]Will[/name_m]?
I say go with [name_f]Millie[/name_f]. 
I like to think about it in terms of holiday cards. [name_m]Will[/name_m] having “[name_u]Love[/name_u], [name_u]Willie[/name_u], (your name) and [name_f]Millie[/name_f]” bother you? If not, go for it!
I think it’s fine. I’m called [name_f]Millie[/name_f]/[name_f]Mil[/name_f] and, beyond occasional confusion (i.e. me responding to my family’s call of [name_u]Billy[/name_u]/[name_f]Lily[/name_f]/etc), it’s no problem.
Go for it! I doubt people will make that connection.
I always say trust your instinct and if it doesn’t feel right then keep looking, there is a name perfect for her and [name_f]Millie[/name_f] may be it! Only you guys can decide!
Much [name_u]Love[/name_u], [name_u]Sky[/name_u]
