What do you think of the girl name combo [name_m]Porter[/name_m] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f]? It’s the name of a fictional female victor from a Hunger [name_m]Games[/name_m] fanfic. It’s a guilty pleasure for me.
While we’re here, what do you think of [name_m]Porter[/name_m] as a girl name?
In all honesty I feel like there are soo many girl names, I hate taking them away from boys. [name_m]Like[/name_m] [name_f]Allison[/name_f]. But it is weird to hear it on a boy now.
Is millicent the middle because it probably wouldn’t be said both first and middle all the time even in a story
[name_m]Porter[/name_m] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] actually has a really interesting contrast to it, I like the structure of it more than I expected. [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] softens [name_m]Porter[/name_m] a lot and gives the whole name a more elegant, vintage feel.
On its own, [name_m]Porter[/name_m] feels quite masculine and surname-driven to me. I can see it in a unisex “surname name” category alongside names like [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m], [name_m]Sawyer[/name_m], [name_m]Parker[/name_m], [name_m]Spencer[/name_m], etc but like many of those it still reads fairly boy-leaning in everyday use.
As a combo though, [name_m]Porter[/name_m] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] works better than I thought it would, the softness of [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] balances it out nicely.
This combo is so mismatched I would think there’d been a clerical error and the child’s name was [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] [name_m]Porter[/name_m], [name_m]Porter[/name_m] being the surname.
[name_m]Porter[/name_m] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] is so so so cool, I love it!!!
[name_m]The[/name_m] contrast is a little jarring for me. I personally don’t like [name_m]Porter[/name_m] as a girls name, but that just might be because I’ve known a few Porters who were all male. [name_m]Like[/name_m] a previous poster said, it does fit in with the likes of [name_m]Spencer[/name_m], [name_m]Sawyer[/name_m], [name_m]Hunter[/name_m] etc.
[name_m]Porter[/name_m] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] is so cool! I actually love the duality of it; the grounded strength of [name_m]Porter[/name_m] both softened & elevated by the elegance and flow of [name_f]Millicent[/name_f]. I love this as a double-name too!
I think it’s definitely a unique combo, but it would work really well for a Hunger [name_m]Games[/name_m] setting. What district is she? I get a lot of old fashioned charm from both names so I immediately think of 12. I love it
