Sophia Lily or Daisy Mae?

[prettypinklady]

Stuck between this two names, in my opinion they are both beautiful and finding it almost impossible to decide. Which do you prefer?

Ah that's nice to honour your relative OP!

Tbh I think of use Mabel though. There are that many Maes (middle name or second half of double barrelled name) where I live I think it would put me off completely. Or else I'd use it and would be forever saying "yes, her middle name is Mae, you know like my relative"

I think I'd use Mabel sorry. Not I think of use Mabel. Autocorrect is weird.

Sophia Mabel

Sophia Lily. Or Sophia Mae. I really don't like Daisy, and Daisy Mae sounds very 'country yokel' to me.

Another vote for Sophia Lily - a lovely combination

Daisy Mae - just no.

Trust me - I work in a school

Sophia Mabel - pretty, classic, and meaningful

Has to be Sophia Lily. Daisy Mae was the name of a cow with fluttery eyelashes in one of my books when I was little.

Sophia Claire. No one gets called Claire these days.

Sophia Mae is lovely, and different.

Sophia Mabel is by far the nicest suggestion.

Unfortunately Mabel is too much on the tongue with our surname. "Sophia Mabel Bellwood" we have considered it but it is too much, especially with the pronunciation we use. Mabel pronounced "Mae-bell" not "mae-Bill"

I suppose we could pronounce it differently but it wouldn't be the same.

That does make it tricky... I still would avoid Mae personally as I don't like it, and I don't really like the May-belle pronunciation (sorry). I've never heard of it before.

I guess it sort of depends how much you want to honour your relative. DD has my late mum's name as a middle name, though it probably wasn't a name I would have chosen otherwise, and also, it really doesn't go with DD's first name or surname but she died just before I fell pregnant so it was important to me to use it.

If you love the name Mae though and don't mind its recent popularity, then obviously go for it! Who knows what name will be fashionable next anyway?

Sophia Lily.

Or Sophia Mae, Daisy Sophia, Lily Mae.
