Yes, we are Arrested Development fans.

I think it's a great name, dp thinks I'm mad.

Thoughts?

Perhaps.

DocHollywood · 01/04/2015 23:53

Possibly

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 01/04/2015 23:54

Maeby Baby.

Maybe not.

bluelamp · 01/04/2015 23:54

Maybe not.

DramaAlpaca · 01/04/2015 23:57

Your DP is right.

Maybe.

mrsmeerkat · 01/04/2015 23:58

Er.. No

Maisie is better if a bit twee

DorothyBastard · 02/04/2015 00:26

It's not a name, it's a punchline.

Only if you go on to have a son and name him George Michael.

I'll say Maebe is better than Ann Veal.

Mabel. Then you can call her Mabey if you like.

Sophronia · 02/04/2015 09:36

How about Maybree / Maybrey / Mayberry instead?

AndWhenYouGetThere · 02/04/2015 09:41

I thought she was Mae B. Funke. Mae is nice?

Totality22 · 02/04/2015 10:55

Love Arrested Development (barring the final series!) and the name kind of grows on you but in RL it's a massive no-no.

LineRunner · 02/04/2015 10:58

I wouldn't, no.

SophyStantonLacy · 02/04/2015 12:47

Mabel is a good suggestion.

MrsCosmopilite · 02/04/2015 12:53

I can picture the first day at nursery/school:
Teacher: Is your name Maisy?
DD: Maeby
Teacher: But is it?
DD: It's Maeby
Teacher: Maybe what?

It is a shame when a name looks good on paper but doesn't work so well audibly.

Thurlow · 02/04/2015 12:57

I serious want an M named DD so that I can at least nickname it to Maeby.

glittertits · 02/04/2015 13:01

Love Arrested Development.

There are tonnes of girls called Mae about though, that puts me off.

bookworm14 · 02/04/2015 13:30

Maeby was the character's nickname - her real name was Mae. Why not use that?

SoupDreggon · 02/04/2015 13:41

You can not seriously have thought it would be a good idea to name a child "Maybe"? Confused

manicinsomniac · 02/04/2015 18:20

I know someone who has this as a surname (spelled Mabey) and they found it annoying as a teenager.

Box5883284322679964228 · 02/04/2015 19:05

Maeve
Maude
maya

SnotQueen · 02/04/2015 19:08

Just go with Funke as first name. Then Maeby in the middle. 'Cos then you have it.
