My second baby is due in May. We don't know if we're having a boy or a girl but we have a boys name sorted.
At the moment, for a girl, we're trying to decide between the names Maeve and May, and i have reservations about both!
I think Maeve is such a beautiful name and we'd call her Mae as a nickname. I like the idea of her having the choice of going by either Maeve or Mae as she grows up.
My only hesitations are that a) We're not Irish! Does that matter? And b) My hubby is Dave. ....Maeve and Dave??! Does it matter that they rhyme?! We'd be calling her Mae lots anyway.
The other option is May which I think is really sweet and pretty. But I have a feeling it's really popular? Also, I'm not sure if May translates so well for an adult? It's perfect for a little girl. ...but a 35 year old woman?? Maeve seems more of a name that would be taken seriously as a woman.
Also, she'll be born in May. ....is it stupid to then call her May??
