I wouldn’t hyphenate.

Mae as first name is lovely
Rosa Mae is lovely too

OpenThePickles · 29/10/2017 20:58

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?
