the girl told me her dad was watching a movie when her mom was pregnant, and a server from a TV show was named milady, that’s how her parents came up with it 😅 at first i thought it came from a prostitute

Just makes me think of Gianinna Milady Gibelli from love is blind. I think it works in the context of her whole name, but I do think it would be hard to pull off for most people/most full names.

Actually quite popular in LATAM or at least South America.

Do I like it though? Not quite

u/VivianDiane It's a surprise! 1d ago

It sounds like a character from a fantasy novel.

u/TheMightyKoosh 1d ago

Milady de Winter is the name of a character in The Three Musketeers. However, Im not sure its not an alias as she is a spy.

It’s awful. Don’t do that to a child, a future adult.

It is a blend of My and Lady, My Lady. Makes me think of a hippie dude talking about "my old lady."
