📖 Acerca de Mildred
Mildred es un nombre anglosajón que significa 'fuerza suave', de 'milde' (suave) y 'þryð' (fuerza). Lo llevó Santa Mildred de Thanet, abadesa del siglo VII venerada en la Inglaterra medieval. El nombre alcanzó el top 10 en Estados Unidos entre 1903 y principios de los años 20 — llegando al puesto 6 con casi 18.000 niñas por año — antes de caer en desuso. Hoy tiene un encanto vintage genuino, y su diminutivo Millie goza de un vibrante renacimiento moderno.
