I wouldn’t hyphenate.

Mae as first name is lovely
Rosa Mae is lovely too

Molly Mae

Keep Mae as the middle name! It might well end up just getting lost if your DD doesn't like having a hyphen name (they are a bit love/hate).

Heidi Mae is lovely.

Sophie Mae
Anna Mae
Rosamund Mae

How rude to describe the OP's grandmother's name as hideous Hmm

manicinsomniac · 29/10/2017 01:06

Is Ivy that popular? I've never met one.

I think Heidi-Mae is really cute though. I love it.

Or how about:
Amy, Abbie, Ada, Bonnie, Betsy, Bronte, Connie, Cara, Clara, Casey, Callie, Darcey, Dana, Dixie, Daisy, Delphi, Elsa, Elsie, Esme, Effie, Freya, Flora, Gracie, Greta, Holly, Hanna, Hebe, Isla, Ida, Josie, Jodie, Jessa, Kayla, Kyla, Kyra, Katie, Kitty, Keltie, Kiki, Kelsey, Lyra, Lila, Lena, Lola, Lacey, Lexi, Lottie, Mika, Mala, Marnie, Millie, Molly, Mia, Maia, Nancy, Nyah, Nia, Orla, Poppy, Posy, Polly, Pippa, Ruby, Romy, Rosie, Rosa, Sara, Sophie, Sylvie, Tilly, Tara, Tessa, Tansy, Una, Vashti, Vera, Willa, Wendy, Xanthe, Zoe, Zara, Zia

Amy/Aimee Mae
Anna Mae
Holly Mae
Lucy Mae

FartnissEverbeans · 28/10/2017 17:58

I agree with the posters who suggested Mae on its own. It's such a pretty, summery, underused name - I can't understand why there aren't more of them around! If I was pregnant with a girl it'd be on my list for sure.

LynetteScavo · 28/10/2017 17:54

Every single name in this thread is lovely, but please don't hyphen.

PhatSlag · 28/10/2017 16:07

Oda Mae Brown ??

PandorasXbox · 28/10/2017 16:03

Why not May. Much more credible. And no hyphens!

mondler · 28/10/2017 16:02

Another vote for Mae as a first name. It's so pretty and underused, plus it would honour your Grandma? If not some other names that may fit:

Martha
Avery
Fern

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/10/2017 15:51

Hi OP, if you like Ivy and Heidi, how about Ida ?

IAmTheDragon · 28/10/2017 12:02

I think Mae is hideous. May, like the month, is far more pleasing to the eye.

I love month names. June is well overdue a revival.

BernardBlacksHangover · 28/10/2017 09:50

Last suggestion I promise!

Mabel with nn Mae?

Do come back and let us know if you like any of these op Smile.

BernardBlacksHangover · 28/10/2017 09:48

Francesca-Mae
Hannah-Mae
Olivia-Mae
Rosalie-Mae
Josephine Mae with nn Josie Mae
April-May Wink

BernardBlacksHangover · 28/10/2017 09:47

Claudia-Mae
Ottolie-Mae
Lydia-Mae
Esme (pronounced Ez-may)?

Are you set on the hyphen op?

Aquamarine1029 · 28/10/2017 02:29

Flora Rae

IVflytrap · 28/10/2017 00:21

Mae as a first name is beautiful by itself.

BernardBlacksHangover · 27/10/2017 15:04

I know an Ava-Mae and an Eva-Mae, both from my small town, so depends if popularity would bother you.

I like Heidi.

How about Ottolie? Ottolie-Mae could be quite sweet as well.

NinonDeLenclos · 27/10/2017 14:18

Mae on it's own is better than either of the hyphenated versions.

Or Heidi Mae no hyphen

fifipop185 · 27/10/2017 14:15

Tillie Mae?

Marv1nGay3 · 27/10/2017 14:13

I know a Maisie Mae. I like Eliza Mae, or Georgia Mae?

bottlegreen · 27/10/2017 14:06

Roberta mae?
