I know a lot of people will immediately think "and Ashley" but to be honest that doesn't really bother me. I don't think of the Olsen twins in any negative way and it's not like anyone of DD's generation will know who they are.

So what are some honest opinions? I have a feeling it won't be popular on here! But I've loved it since I was young and it's always sort of stuck in my head. My other 2 favourite names are Emilia and Emma, but part of me thinks that if I chose either of them it would deep down be because I was anxious of what people would think of Mary-Kate and not want the negativity from it.

I prefer Mary Katherine or Mary Kate.

But it's your daughter, so, go for the name you love :)

I think if Mary-Kate and Ashley were going to be forgotten, they would've been now. They're like Paris Hilton: not relevant, but not fading from peoples' memories either.

So, I don't like it. I like Mary with the middle name Kate, however.

Lovely 😀

Your daughter - you give her the name you love !

BellesBelles · 31/10/2016 06:26

I like it. Even with the hyphen.

Pemba · 31/10/2016 06:23

Agree it is nice, but don't like hyphens. You can still say the whole name together without having to use a hyphen.

Love the names Mary and Kate but not with the hyphen. First name Mary middle name Kate is lovely.

GinIsIn · 31/10/2016 06:18

Emilia is lovely though

GinIsIn · 31/10/2016 06:18

I also think of 'The Waltons' - it's a bit "goodnight John-Boy"

icantgetnosleep5 · 31/10/2016 06:16

I really like Emma 😊
Tbh to me, mary-Kate seems like a name ud hear in the play boy mansion!
Especially with the hyphen. Mary as a stand alone name, to me, seems like a name tht would suit all ages much better
