Lily-May, Kizzi-Leigh or Lexi-Jean?

[ChunkysMum]

For a friends pfb. Middle name Anne.

What do you think? Which do you prefer?

Thanks.

No jean.

Yeah grace is good too.

Usual I know but everyone sniggers at her name and makes assumptions about her before they've even met her

Mumzy - that's really sad but have these people got nothing better to do? It might raise an eyebrow once or twice as its unusual, but surely?

Anyway as head of hr she has the last laugh, maybe she should sack the fuckers.

What about Eleanor May? Shortened to Ellie-May if absolutely necessary.

Actually, Kezia-Leigh sounds like casually. So not that.

Unfortunately people do judge and make assumptions

Have you tried asking on netmums?

They may be more supportive.

Anything ending in an 'i' instead of a 'y' (Kizzi/Kerri etc) will lead to judgement. Mean but it just will.

Although at first glance the Lily one is the least hideous, I would say that Lily is so done to death I'd head toward the Lexi as a nn for Alexa.

So Alexa-May if she must hyphenate.

Well I would have thought reaching the top of your chosen department in the workplace should shut some of those judgy types right up. It's an odd name for sure but it obviously has not caused her any problems in her career.

Don't forget in 20 years time there are going to be lots of this type of name around.

Lily-Anne (or even better, Lilian)
Anna-May
Anna-Leigh (or even better, Annaliese)
Leah-May
Emily-May

Hyphenated names are awful. An American friend of mine describes them as "trailer trash names". I'm afriad that round here hyphenated names are considered terribly chavvy. Sorry.

None.

All awful.

Hyphens are acceptable only in the Deep South of America.

Emily-Jane

Kizzi-Leigh sounds like an illness.
Lexi-Jean sounds like a learning disability.
Lily-May is ok without the hyphen - but there are lots of them about.

Anna Jean maybe.

I like lily-may but would have it as Lillee-Mai or Lilli-Mai.

Kizzee-leigh is really nice, I like Lexi but I would of had Lexii-Mai or Lexxii-Rai
I think Jean sounds like in an old folk home LOL.

Sally-Anne? I know she wants Anne as a midde name, but that's the nicest hyphen I could think of!

If I was forced, at gunpoint, to make a choice it'd be Lily May, but without the hyphen.

Mum2Kaison - that's a joke, right?

I was just thinking if Teddi-Sue's mum had named her Theodora Susan, she could have still called her Teddi-Sue as a family name but given her the choice of a more adult dignified moniker to use when she was grown up. As I recall I think the Queen's family pet name was Lilibet. Not much cop as Queen Lilibet but cute for a small child.

I know a Mae-Lyn known as Mae to all by the time she was 1.

Lily-May it the least awful....

Awful bloody posts on this thread.

Baby names is the worst topic on MN
