I have already named my daughter as she is 8 weeks old, but just wanted to know what everyone thought as I think it's beautiful. I know not everyone thinks the same but just curious!

FWIW, I'm not boasting or showing off or anything like that, for those MNetters who seem to jump to conclusions.

Also would love to know what names you think would go well with Hollie Mae for when she has a little brother or sister. Wont be for another 2 or 3 years, but want to have some names on my radar or I might have to ask her for ideas and pooface or pandapants is probably the kind of name she'd come up with at 3 and I can't see that going down too well. :)

Partners last name ends in Y, if that helps. :)

If you like the name,that's all that matters.

Fuck what anyone else thinks.

As monkeyface says this will not end well.

Confused

Mae is the ultimate shit name, given to every baby girl in the last few years who has parents who like to be totally unoriginal. And Hollie is spelt wrong.

But its a moot point, as you have already chosen the name.

This will go two ways.
You will get the 'its lovely' crew.
And the 'its fuckin shit' crew.
Will. Not. End. Well.

I know a Hollie Mae/Mai, her sister is called Freya Rose.

Mnetters will hate Hollie Mae! Two names that are misspelt and the dreaded 'Mae' middle name.

Christabel3 · 04/06/2013 20:01

I'd prefer Holly Maeve . Don't like Mae at all. You like it. You chose it knowing that no one name would please everybody, right?

I would prefer Holly May.

Hollie is pretty inoffensive though. I think most names would go with it, although I would probably draw the line at Pooface.

Redblackcar2 · 04/06/2013 19:38

I love it think its beautiful if I was going to be critical at all then I would just say I prefer the holly spelling .
