Me and DH came up with this name in the pub last night for our hypothetical 3rd and last. We both really like Doris and it fits in with our other DD's names, but then realised it sounds a bit like Doris Day! Mae would just be a middle name not a hypenated name so would it really matter? Or it is does can you suggest one syllable middle names that go with Doris? We already have a Bea.

I actually like Dorit, Tessa, Ivy, Violet, Edith but all vetoed by DH (though there is a glimpse of hope on Violet but one of our other DD's is also a flower name)

Basically think old lady names especially with an s sound in.
:)

(Hypothetical boy name is Alfred John)

Don't do it.

granny names are awful I don't know why people do it to their kids.

My nan was Doris May and was fabulous so it sounds good to me. I'm lining up Doris as a middle name for DC2 if it's a girl.

Doris is a great name. I'd spell Mae May but don't think the Doris Day thing matters at all.
