Love Ivy.

Think Mae as a middle name is done to death and a bit tacky.

AnnaAva · 19/09/2016 17:54

Oh, tacky!?

I love ivy
But not the Mae bit at all!!

How about Ivy Willow
Ivy Leigh
Ivy Rose

I think it's lovely. All names my way seem too be something-rose. Including my niece.

As long as you like it, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

AnnaAva · 19/09/2016 17:57

I like Rose, but then it's very floral!

I agree with PPs, Ivy is lovely but not with Mae.

pugsake · 19/09/2016 18:01

Are you wanting a hyphenated name or two separates?

Bertieboo1 · 19/09/2016 18:01

Love Ivy.

Ivy Juliet
Ivy Grace
Ivy Georgia
Ivy Helena

Ivy Holly (sorry couldn't resist) Wink

EssentialHummus · 19/09/2016 18:03

I rather like it. Wouldn't hyphenate.

AnnaAva · 19/09/2016 18:04

Ivy would be the first name.
Mae would be the middle name.

Ivy Skye
Ivy Raine

Popular in my family. Not too everyone's taste though.

Nice name but surely the Mae middle name obsession is over now.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 19/09/2016 18:07

As others have said middle name of Mae is a bit tacky and common (in the literal sense of the word). Everybody seems to be giving their daughter Mae as a middle name. Ivy is so different so it kind of spoils it to put it with a name like Mae. It's like giving someone the name Evangeline Karen or something.

Ivy Pearl
Ivy Terese
Ivy Elise
Ivy Kate
Ivy Monet
Ivy Sophia
Ivy Celeste

AnnaAva · 19/09/2016 18:10

I just liked it... I didn't realise it was popular.

It's our first child, so we aren't ever around small children.

I love Ivy Kate!

I love Ivy (biased though as it's my DD's middle name), not keen on Mae.

Going with 1 syllable maybe,

Ivy Faye

Mae is very popular.

Lilacpink40 · 19/09/2016 18:17

If you like it though go for it. Your decision ☺

Kennington · 19/09/2016 18:17

Ivy is lovely

Am not keen on the Mae bit but that is probably because no one else is!

pugsake · 19/09/2016 18:17

iliveina my niece is due November I have a feeling Mae may be involved Grin

It would be a conservative choice for my family.

EvermoreEvermore · 19/09/2016 18:19

Love Ivy!
