Amelia Kitty - don't do it

Ah but what about when you tell her off and use her full name then!!!!!! That can;t only be me and my mum who do that

mazzystar · 10/06/2008 23:00

ok this is not going to win me any friends but I think Mae has become the noughties equivalent of Jane as a middle name. a bit pointless/ubiquitous.

unless
your granny/favourite aunt was called Mae
you have a genuine Mae West obsession

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 10/06/2008 22:56

Any permutation of Lydia, May and Amelia in my totally irrelevant opinion!

But the Mae would be just a middle ame so she would just be called Lilah or Lydia,

I wouldn't shout 'Lilah Mae' in the playground iykwim,

I don't want it to be Lilah-Mae. But seperate and unused unless asked what her middlle name is.

I like all the individual components [Lydia best and prefer Lila] but not so much in combination
Lilah Mae sounds a touch trailer trashy to me, but I kind of like that

quint · 10/06/2008 22:51

Like Lila, Like Kitty, but not keen on the combinations - sorry but you did ask.

At the end of the day, she is your daughter and go with what you like, I didn't with DD2 (though it was my choice really!) and now wish I did.

If you like the names everyone else will get used to them and she will just become whatever you name her

dizzydixies · 10/06/2008 22:50

agree with Lila no h
they're all very pretty choices imo

Pinkchampagne · 10/06/2008 22:50

Lila Mae even!

May with a 'Y' wouldn't work because of our surname
