May Kathryn

Does it sound wrong (like 'Make a thing').
Does it matter?
I'd like to use Kathryn or Margaret as a middle name to honour family, but am struggling to find combinations that sound nice.

Thanks

I quite like the idea of Maggie May but you'd have to like Rod Stewart ...

Sounds fine. Even May Kathryn Margararet would work

May Kathryn is fine, and doesn't sound like "make a thing".

Are you wanting to use the whole names Kathryn/Margaret or would you consider diminutives such as Katie or Greta?

Nice to see May as a first name idea for a change, as it's so often a middle name.

Sorry to me it sounds like you are asking if Kathryn can do something e.g. 'May Kathryn please come for a sleep over'.

I do like the name May but really don't think it works well as a first name.

We have a Katherine May in the family Smile

May Kathryn is beautiful. Lovely choices op.

Thank you for the replies. I am feeling a bit more confident now. No idea if this is a boy or girl, but I have a boy's name picked. I was a bit worried I couldn't find any girl's name I liked. I already have a boy and girl, and am a bit worried that I'll always think of their names as my top choice! But now have 2 girl options
May Kathryn
Megan Kathryn (Meg)
This has been helpful, so thank you.

I think the name May makes it sound like you are asking permission for something when it is used at the start of a sentence, so it would be all the time if you intend to use both names (as if double barrelled).

Megan Kathryn is lovely Smile

I think May Katherine is fine, it's not like she's ever going to say her name is May Katherine when introducing her self.

I like Megan too.

It sounds fine. It's good to see May as a first name.
