Honestly this could just be speaking to some niche desire to have a traditionally femme but still awful name as though it were assigned to you by your parents. Being like “Please, call me Millie, my real name is Mildred (ugh)” definitely lends an air of legitimacy to the whole thing. And it’s a classic real world experience of many cis women.
That’s just a guess though, more power to her either way, maybe she just thinks Mildred is a rad name. At the end of the day my opinion means jack and/or shit so do what you want.

Only nitpicking this because I have a family member named Millie. If you shorten Mildred, it would be Milly with a “y”
Millie spelled like this isn’t short for anything, it’s the full name.
Friendly reminder that it’s all arbitrary and made up anyway.
True, which is why I prefaced about the nitpick
Millicent
Blade of Malenia (Blade of Miquella)
Not even joking, I use this nickname for her frequently.
Millie is actually kinda cute
Like Millie Bobby Brown
I’m a fan of pretty much all the -ie names.
I stan Millie, but I feel like taking the name Mildrid for it is a curse.
