Hello,

I want to ask what you think of the name Mae as a first name?
My daughter has her heart set on it.
Me and her dad like Sofia as well.

If you could choose would you go for Mae or Sofia.
Just wanting some other opinions or suggestions similar. We are living more traditional names nothing too out there.

TIA x

May, spelled like this.

How about Sofia-Mae

It's not a sibling's place to name a child - it is not fair on the younger child, and your DD will only have heard a small selection of names. Chances are DD2 will be named after her favourite friend or pop star that week. You and the father should choose.

Mae is not to my taste at all, but the May spelling is better.

I prefer Sophia to Sofia. It's pretty but very popular. Sophie is nicer IMO.

I'd choose what I liked the most, and thought suited her.

My DC can choose the name of their own children!!!
