What do you think of the name Mailie for a girl?

Do you have any other suggestions I may like?

Thanks everyone 😊

Awful, sorry. Honestly it sounds chavvy and made up (I know I shouldn't say that bit honest opinion!) Why not just pick an actual name...?

DemocracyDiesInDarkness · 02/10/2018 15:11

Hmmm not in love with it.

How about Maylin? (Emphasis on the lin)

I know a Maylin whose parents are from Malaysia.

Another one whose first thought was French mustard.

Why can’t people just use ACTUAL names?
There are plenty about fgs.

Got any Mail today Mailee?

Is your dad a postman?

No.

that's it, beat me to it and make me look thick @Botanica Grin

cheesemongery · 02/10/2018 15:06

Sounds like a brand of mustard

Thank you! I knew I'd seen it or similar somewhere. It's Maille I think, but they do a lovely wholegrain.

Sorry OP, I'm not a fan of it for a name. Why not just stick to May?

itsbritneybiatches · 02/10/2018 15:06

Isnt it a French brand of mustard
That was
Purchased by Colman's?

Botanica · 02/10/2018 15:06

Almost

What do you think of Mailie?
Huntlybyelection · 02/10/2018 15:03

Is it a combination of Maisie and Ailie/Eilidh?

I've never heard of Mailie before.

Botanica · 02/10/2018 15:00

I thought of mustard too.

It's dreadful.

I just don't get why the need to make up ridiculous names...

NarcolepticOuchMouse · 02/10/2018 14:58

Sounds like slang for a postman

missmouse101 · 02/10/2018 14:57

People will think you have said ‘Bailey’. It's not a good name, I’m sorry.

PortiaCastis · 02/10/2018 14:55

Sounds like a brand of mustard

ScienceIsTruth · 02/10/2018 14:54

Confused sorry, but that's the face I pulled.

However, it's your child, so do what makes you happy.

WhenIWasAYoungWarthog · 02/10/2018 14:53

Is it an actual name? I’ve never met or heard of one. It looks like a made up spelling of a made up name.

NotANotMan · 02/10/2018 14:52

Awful

Soubriquet · 02/10/2018 14:52

You will end up correcting people. A lot.

NameChange30 · 02/10/2018 14:51

Um. Is it from another language/culture? If so I will sound very ignorant saying this, but it sounds completely made up. And not in a good way Confused Sorry

BertramKibbler · 02/10/2018 14:51

I don’t think it’s a name?

Why the strange spelling?
