What do you think of the name India-Mae?
Any similar names you can think of?

I mean I taught a Charlie-Jade in the 00s so that's similar.

Oh and an Aimee-Jo...

Loose Mae or at least spell it May. It looks wrong

WilkinsonM · 13/07/2023 20:08

Drop the -Mae

I don't really like hyphenated names (nor do data bases).
Personally, I don't like place names for people either.

I always think Mae / May as a middle name sounds like the start of a sentence ... "Louise may want to ...."

So, overall, I agree with everyone else. Not for me.

I like India or mae/may rather than the 2 names (feels a bit like hedging bets to use 2 or like you couldn’t find one name you liked enough). If you like longer sounding/place names you could go for
Indiana
Savannah
Sienna
Indigo
Georgiana
Olympia
Adelaide

Or if you like a long name ending in or including an “ay” sound you could go for:
Esmay
Ismay
Loralei
Leilani
Leia
Leila
Paige

Indira May.

India
May

On their own and spelt correctly, beautiful. Double barrelling the name makes it awful.

beetlebrain · 13/07/2023 19:32

India ok but not with Mae. Why would you?

WanderingWitches · 13/07/2023 19:27

I really don't like it
I'm not a fan of place names and everyone sticks Mae on the end of their kids name.

No to both - alone or together. I say this as someone with a hyphenated name. It's cringe

This!

JanesBlond · 13/07/2023 19:26

Do you have any connection to India?
I prefer May, I find Mae ugly.

youwerentthere · 13/07/2023 19:25

EVERYONE is tagging Mae on the end of name just now, don't do it

SiouxsieSiouxStiletto · 13/07/2023 19:23

I do like both names but agree with PP. hyphenated names seem a bit early 2000's.

Parker231 · 13/07/2023 19:13

I like both but as individual names and not hyphenated
