I'm really showing my age, but that name brings up fond memories of Fairuza Balk as Mildred Hubble in The Worst Witch (watch it if you get a chance, not only Fairuza, but also Charlotte Rae and Tim Curry, great film, one of my childhood favourites!). (E: omg omg omg it's on youtube!!! I know what I'm watching tonight!)
I see no problem here.
Also Millie for short is cute.

All I can think of is the wife in Fahrenheit 451. Wasn’t that her name?

Mildred/"Millie" in the book, Linda in the 1966 movie. (Doesn't appear in the 2018 movie.)

I'm embarrassed to admit I've never read or watched Fahrenheit 451, but a quick search shows you're right!
