Oh I love it without the ‘e’! Looks much more modern and less frumpy.

Adore it - without the ‘e’.

Agree

Really nice, unusual name these days. But not unusual in that its a hard to pronounce name, just rarely heard. Simple and classic! And a nice tribute to your family.
I suppose it might get shortened to 'Mo,' when she gets a bit older.

Loved it for both DD’s and was overruled by DH 😑

I’m with you! It’s the name of a great great grandmother and I thought it was awful when I was younger, but now I really like it. My pick would be Maude Elizabeth.
