I'm 22 weeks pregnant my little girl and completely stuck I want a name that's not a everyday name so slightly unusual but not to strange I really like Ava-mae and Ivy-mae but none of them really stand out to me my partner likes Hiedi but I'm not so keen any names you all can think of??

Agreed on no hyphen.

How about:
Phoebe Mae
Rosa Mae
Evie Mae
Georgia Mae
Eleanor Mae
Sophia Mae
Annabelle Mae

If you're firmly wanting hyphenated, I think Heidi-Mae is pretty.

Or, as an alternative, Edie-Mae sounds good.

Or what about Maeve (as a standalone name, unhyphenated with anything else), which would still honour your Grandmother, but is a little more unusual?

I’d use Mae without the hyphen.

Annie Mae
Nancy Mae
Audrey Mae
Lucy Mae
Ada Mae
Rosa Mae
Alice Mae
Sylvie Mae
Anna Mae
Clara Mae
Flora Mae

Why not just use Mae on it's own?
Mae is ridiculously overused as a hyphenated middle name, but using if as a first name is very rare (only 85 in 2016 according to one stats).

If you dont want everyday names forget Ava and Ivy, they're everywhere.
There's nothing stopping you from using Mae, but just with a less over used first name
Heidi Mae is very sweet and not ridiculously popular.
Other suggestions
Nyla Mae.
Rosa Mae
Eden Mae
Aurora Mae
Luna Mae
Nyree Mae

Ava and Ivy are both popular (Ava particularly). Mae is also the most popular as a hyphenated name.

Heidi is nice

Dulcie
Lila
