honestly, mildred isn't even a particularly bad name. especially if she's like scottish or something, then it'd be kinda badass.

My grandma was a Mildred. She hated her name so much she forbade anyone from naming a baby after her.

At least where I'm from, it's just a very old sounding name, like Otis or Norman, or Richard. Like they're not bad names, but you just expect to see a grandpa.

Fuck it, this'll be used to dox me at some point, I can already see it coming, but yeah, I go by Rivulet. Currently playing Minecrap with a rot infection mod installed at nearly 03:00 because I'm inclined to go practically nocturnal without school to keep my sleep schedule in check. Mod is VERY early in development it seems, mostly just a spectacle, doesn't do anything to harm directly, hell you have to use creative mode to get the thing to spawn it.
