📖 Sobre Mildred
Mildred é um nome do inglês antigo que significa 'força gentil', formado por 'milde' (suave) e 'þryð' (força). Foi usado pela Santa Mildred de Thanet, abadessa do século VII venerada na Inglaterra medieval. O nome esteve no top 10 dos EUA entre 1903 e o início dos anos 1920 — chegando ao 6º lugar com quase 18.000 meninas batizadas por ano — antes de cair em desuso. Hoje carrega um charme vintage autêntico, com o apelido Millie desfrutando de um renovado sucesso moderno.
