Mildred

I say this as a trans woman. I will support, defend and love you no matter what sis.

But....

Fucking Mildred!?

Enough talk about trans rights, it's time to talk about trans wrongs /s

I wanna be supportive but, fucking Mildred?

Engaging in sexual intercourse with Mildred is perfectly fine as long as there is mutual consent. However, it is not required. Kind words are usually sufficient.

I gotta agree with the post. Millie would be a cute alternative Mildred. The name reminds me of mildew.

When I was in school the kids with the weird names were either picked on or they were super cool and popular. Their parents had no idea which one they were going to be when they chose the name.

Your friend has the benefit of knowing who she is already. If she knows she's going rock it, then go Mildred.

If you want to get to Millie, start with Camilla. Not fucking Mildred.

Are geriatric names coming back? Are we going to have a generation of Gladyses and Eustices?

I've noticed a trend with trans women picking the stupidest names, and idk why. Like I kinda get Mildred because it's a classic name and has a cute nickname. So it stands to reason maybe she has a family member that was a huge influence on her so she wants to honor her with that name but why the fuck do people pick names like Lola.

I knew an old lady that has since died, her first name was Mildred. She went by her middle name because even when she was a kid, Mildred was perceived as an unattractive name.

Damn right. If I transitioned, I wouldn't take a lame name like Mildred. I'd go for something cool like Radicalorange or Forcefulblue.

I 100% support people to transition. I don't think people should get to pick their own names without any veto.

Maybe it's the meaning. Just looked it up: Mildred means "gentle strength." I'm warming up to it.

Mildred is iffy but Millie is an adorable name.

I am and will always be an ally. Mildred though. 😬

Should have gone with Genevieve, way more modern.

Mildred sounds like a lot of fun.

• is the chief wit at her monthly book club, where everyone is a published author
• serves tea with strange flavors that you'll never taste again (and leave you feeling a little... dizzy)
• can tell you your future just by talking with you for 5 minutes - with 90% accuracy
• understands that the 1980 BBC miniseries of Pride & Prejudice is the best Austen adaptation ever
• knows more about gardening than most horticulturists
• when she insults you, you don't realize it until weeks later.

Yes. The way to support your friend is to fuck them. Fucking Mildred is the answer.

Thought Slime goes by Mildred.....

But they're kind of self-aware, so I think it's supposed to make them more off-putting.

now if it was Mildread...

my only criticism is that it isn't old-fashioned enough. if we're reaching back to old names, why not go all the way and pick a name like Ælfgifu

Alright, everything’s coming up Mildred!

Mildred is on my top list of dog names, along with Myrtle, Milhouse, Milton, Mortimer, and Mable. We currently have Monty, Mary, and Maizie.

Never for a human, though. It's too old fashioned. Unless you're thought slime, then it just fucking works for some reason..

Mildred is a metal as fuck name.

I like Mildred. Such a shame that names go 'out of date'.

It could be a David Foster Wallace reference. "In the eighth American-educational grade, Bruce Green fell dreadfully in love with a classmate who had the unlikely name of Mildred Bonk. The name was unlikely because if ever an eighth-grader looked like a Daphne Christianson or a Kimberly St.-Simone or something like that, it was Mildred Bonk."

better than all the reddit Lunas desu

Maybe because I grew up multicultural, so I rarely find any strange names, well, strange.

Mildred is the worst... witch

Definitely not going to pass, automatic red flag

So she's scared of books?
