Opinions please! Is [name_m]Miller[/name_m] too masculine?The few people I’ve mentioned it to really didn’t seem to like it for a girl at all. I think it’s cute (especially with [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as a nick name), but I don’t want to give my daughter a name that people really don’t seem to like. Honest thoughts please and thank you!!!
I absolutely love [name_m]Miller[/name_m] for a girl. I have it on my list too- I think it’s super sweet on a girl. I agree that its very cute, especially with [name_f]Millie[/name_f] (I like [name_m]Mills[/name_m] a lot too, but more as a short name than an everyday nickname). I would consider it a unisex name that would work on a girl or a boy, and I would love to meet a little girl called [name_m]Miller[/name_m]!
Also, I don’t think the name [name_m]Miller[/name_m] will be generally disliked- there are so many names out there and [name_m]Miller[/name_m] (especially with the nickname [name_f]Millie[/name_f]) won’t stand out too much. If you’re still worried about masculinity, maybe aim for a more feminine middle name. Overall, my advice is to go for it- I adore [name_m]Miller[/name_m] for a girl!
I like it! I think when people are confronted with something unfamiliar their knee-jerk reaction is to dislike it. But so many surname-names are popular for all sexes, I think most would get used to it quickly. [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is a familiar, feminine, logical nickname to appease those who might at first be reluctant to like [name_m]Miller[/name_m].
I think it’s gorgeous!
I really like it and it’s not something that would likely be chosen where I’m from - not sure if you’re American, but it seems to fit really well in the States, with the ER ending. I have a US friend who just called her daughter Mariner! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you can insist on [name_m]Miller[/name_m] but [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_m]Mills[/name_m], [name_f]Milla[/name_f], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] all girly nn options.
Depends on your accent whether [name_m]Miller[/name_m] is ER or A at the end. I say [name_f]Milla[/name_f] so it doens’t sound masculine to me, however when I see it written down I first view it as a masculine name. That’s not a bad thing though!
I have female family members [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] (2, 9, 11 years old) whom all have “masculine” names and have never had a problem and love that their names are unique and well remembered. However, it must be a phase that’s catching on because two of them go to school with girls with the same names. BUT that’s still unique, considering I went to school with 3 other [name_u]Madison[/name_u]'s in my class and I’m sure others can relate.
I think [name_m]Miller[/name_m] is wearable and cute. If you love it, use it.
I’m not a huge fan of [name_m]Miller[/name_m] for a girl. I don’t love it for a boy either but for me it’s a bit too masculine.
I have a friend whose surname is [name_m]Miller[/name_m] and we call him that quite a lot, so it’s just my main association. I’m not generally a fan of ‘boy names on girls’ and for me [name_m]Miller[/name_m] is too close to that.
I think objectively [name_m]Miller[/name_m] would work fine on a girl, I just dislike the trend it is part of.
It feels very masculine to me. Personally, I am not too fond of it as a first name for either gender. I adore [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as a stand-alone name.
I don’t see the appeal for either gender. I guess it kind of sounds bland? But I love [name_f]Millie[/name_f].
I don’t really love the name [name_m]Miller[/name_m], honestly. Not my style. But I think it’s a perfectly usable name, so I wouldn’t worry about it as long as you love it. I do love the nickname [name_f]Millie[/name_f].
I’m not personally a fan of it but I’m also not a fan of surnames as first names and all I can associate it with is the beer [name_m]Miller[/name_m] Lite. But if you love it, go for it.
It’s nms for a boy or a girl, but I think it’s usable.
I’m not a fan, to me it just seems like picking a name for the shock value. It’d be fine as a middle though.
It’s such a common surname that I have a hard time with it as a first, but I suppose that didn’t stop [name_u]Carter[/name_u], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], and [name_u]Taylor[/name_u].
I do think it sounds masculine. I love [name_f]Millie[/name_f] alone though. I don’t think it would be out of place among other surname names if you really love it.
I’m not a fan, but I don’t really like it as a boy name either. I think generally the surname names don’t appeal to me as first names though!
I love the name [name_f]Millie[/name_f] though!
I also think if you want to make it look more feminine you could go with [name_f]Mila[/name_f] or [name_f]Milla[/name_f]? Has the same sound but does make it look more feminine.
