Mayday: an unusual, yet unique girls name.

[VanezAJ]

My girl is due early next year (already have a 3 year old girl) and we haven't decided on a name yet.
I came across this name nameberry.com/babyname/Mayday/comments and I have come to love this wonderful, unique name!
What do you think of this name?
And do you have any middle name suggestions?

I would like to have a normal, traditional middle name to go with this unusual first name.

Here are some ideas:

Mayday Grace
Mayday Rose
Mayday Jean
Mayday Jane
Mayday Jade
Mayday Lane
Mayday Renae
Mayday Bree

No. Just no.

Please tell me you're joking.

Mayday is an unusual name because it means Help!

It's not one I would choose.

No.
And some of those middle names are far from what I'd call normal or traditional.

Really? Just no. Imagine the teasing.

I'm sorry to say that the only middle name that goes with mayday is bank holiday

tomatodizzy that just made me laugh out loud

There's a reason for why some words are not names.

No to Mayday.

Mayday Mayday surely?

Mayday is a distress signal, not a name. Surely.

But, it that's the genre you're going for then you may also want to consider:
Sos (pronounced Sewess)
Panpan
Sevensevenohoh
and Help.

"History[edit]
The Mayday procedure word originated in 1923 by Frederick Stanley Mockford (1897–1962).[1] A senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, Mockford was asked to think of a word that would indicate distress and would easily be understood by all pilots and ground staff in an emergency. Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and Le Bourget Airport in Paris, he proposed the word "Mayday" from the French "m’aider" (Translates to: "help me!").[2]

Before the voice call "Mayday", SOS was the Morse code equivalent of the Mayday call. In 1927, the International Radiotelegraph Convention of Washington adopted the voice call Mayday in place of the SOS Morse code call.[3]"

from here

If a name is actually unique, as in no-one else has that name, that is because it isn't a name at all. If it was, there would be others.

Mayday is not a name. It's what drowning sailors call out from their watery graves. It's an international call sign used for a "grave and imminent threat requiring immediate assistance".

Just don't do it.

To make it even more unusual yet unique, how about the French spelling "M'aidez"?

Damn it! Pacific got there first.

May I propose "Hilfe", to rhyme with 'Hilda'?

Please, OP, come back and tell us this is tongue in cheek?!

Sounds like a Bond girl

I shall be the voice of dissent and say that it could be quite cool for the right girl - I can imagine a movie heroine named Mayday! In fact, I'm sure that there's a spiderman link there, although that may put you off :)

Erm, no. Nameberry is full of made up bollocks. How about Loveday? Good solid traditional Cornish name.

Things which are unique do tend to be unusual.

Mayday as a name is both of those things for a reason.

How about Lovelace??

Good grief!
It's not a name, don't do that to the poor child.

Ok, I am capable of making a serious suggestion: why not call her 'May', NN 'Mayday', if you must?

Mayday PanPan........

No. She'll call herself May as soon as she's able and need therapy

Having a name that makes people think of someone begging for help to survive is going to cause problems for the child.

Maypole is just as bonkers, if you're set on something truly unique, but it's less deathy.
