Honest opinions on this girls name?

Thanks for clicking!
So first baby is due in just over 11 weeks, and we have kept the sex a surprise.
We have a boys name set but still thinking about a girls name.
We both love Macy but my DP would love his late grandmothers name as the middle name.
The name is May.

Can we really have a Macy May?

Thanks for any input.

I like that, Esmae/Esme was on the shortlist - then we got confused with the whole Es-may/Es-mee pronunciation so we scrapped it!

It's cute.

It's a bit southern Belle but day to day she'll be Macy right?

Babybrain had no part to play here! It's not great!

Never thought of adding a second middle name, that could possibly work.
Thanks for the heads up!

It's where 2 names or words beginning with the same letter follow each other

Which is a shame as my DP's name is a very popular surname beginning with the letter 'J' so any names I like beginning with that letter are a no go!

PS or you could have Macy Esme or something? I know it's a totally diff name but still has the "may" sound in there

Chocolatecake12 · 14/05/2017 19:57

Could you add another name in between?
Macy Katherine May for example?
It breaks it up a bit.

Isn't there a movie called Martha Macy May Marlene?!

Anyway, I actually like Macy May!

kizzle what is alliteration?

I normally can't stand any alliteration. I can't even look at names that begin with the same letter as my DP's surname.

Just checking pregnancy brain hasn't clouded my judgement!
Thanks!

It sounds a little ridiculous
