I don't like it, sorry OP.

Commuterface · 31/01/2018 14:08

I'm sorry but I hate any name with May/Mae/Mai and the end of it.

SummerRoberts · 31/01/2018 14:07

I'm not a fan. It's just not my cup of tea but it's very inoffensive.

Not keen on Mae but it’s ok as a middle name. Elaya is quite girly so not to my taste but it’s not unpleasant Smile

Not Mae. So over done.

I know an Elia, always gets comments on lovely name. I prefer this spelling too

No. It sounds like initials. L A R.

Don't mind Elaya but hate Mae.

Bastardingcough · 31/01/2018 13:31

Anytime Mae sounds too cutesy. The Mae/May thing is so overused.

I like the sound of Elaya but she will spend her life spelling it out to people.

diddy92 · 31/01/2018 13:29

Thanks :) Mae would just be her middle name. She would just get called Elaya.

I like Elaya but feel like it's a bit too cutesy with Mae.
