Star Wars themed Pedme vs Pedimae

Padme (The m has a French accent thing over it)
This is a Star Wars themed name, she is Luke and Leia's mum.

What would others think if I changed Padme to Padimae?
That way it looks more how it is pronounced, is that weird?

Not sure if I should use as a first name, middle name or even at all?

No it doesn’t. Confused There’s no ‘i’ sound in Padme.

I like just Padme better.

Padma? Or another SW name, like Amidala, Leia or Rey?

If you can't spell it right yourself, what hope does anyone else have. Just go with Luke or Leia.

You've not said how they're pronounced therefore. How can we give an opinionConfused

I don’t think the I belongs in Padimae. If anything I’d go for Padmae. I think it’s be a lovely middle name! But actually if it’s just the middle name you may as well spell it Padme.

I'd say Padimae as "Paddy-May" which I guess isn't what you're going for.

I do dislike Mae on it's own or Mae as a middle name, but like the way it looks with Padimae. It was DP suggestion as he is a star wars nut, I am the one playing with the spelling as an idea. We don't have our hearts set on this name.

In all honesty I think it's a bit daft - sorry OP. Star Wars-themed names are one thing, but a made up spelling of a Star Wars name is a bit much.

Why not just Mae? Lovely name. Or use Padme is a middle name?
