From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Millie yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Nothing else in this batch comes close to Millie's growth: 371% over ten years, roughly double the next-fastest riser. It now sits at its all-time high of 2,910 births and rank 86, having appeared in every single decade from 1880 onward while staying rare for nearly all of it — the all-time total is just 42,765. Millie Bobby Brown, born 2004, is the obvious driver; the show that made her famous arrived in 2016, and the curve responds accordingly. The other listed bearers, including the actor Millie Perkins, born 1938, and the footballer Millie Bright, predate or postdate the surge without shaping it. Diminutive names becoming formal given names is one of the strongest current patterns, and Millie is its clearest case here.
