Lillymae?

[Tuesday811]

What does everyone think of Lillymae?
DP suggested it, I'm not too sure
Thanks!

I prefer Lily with Mae as a middle name.

My friend has a Lilly-Mae and it's lovely, there are a lot of Lilys around so it's nice to have a different one.

Babynames is one of the only places on here that I can't relate to real life. It's so snobby.

I just hear Cletus from the Simpsons. "Lily-Mae! Git yer ma! Dem pigs done escaped agen!"

That's just the association I make though. I don't know why. So personally, I wouldn't choose it, but if you love the name there are far worse out there.

What's with the ridiculous spelling? I'm

I’d spell it Lily May.

Being perfectly honest I really dislike any name with a hyphenated 'Mae' in it and this looks even worse.

Separately both names are lovely but I do think it's common to have "joint" names like that.

Purely because there are billions of girls called Lily/Lilly May/Mae/Mai (with or without hyphens) it’s a no from me.

Hill Billy tastic.

@Creepyexgirlfriend hit the nail on the head there

Lily alone is nice

Lilymae is vile and chavvy.

Lily is also overdone imo.

Thanks all! Maybe not Lillymae then 🙈
Other options are Ally, Leah and Hadley, thoughts on these?

I like Allie

You’ll get ripped apart for those too @Tuesday811

Try Margot, Clemmie, Isobel or Evelyn for a less insufferable reaction.

I prefer Lily or Mae.

Ally is ok, however with that spelling it would probably be pronounced Al-eye. Allie would give you Al-ee if that’s what you’re after?
Leah is nice.
Hadley is awful.

I like Hadley

not keen on Leah
don't like Allie unless it's a nn for Alice, Alison, Alyssia.

what is Allie short for? Alexandra is nice. you don't get many little Allies so would be quite unusual. Leah's alright, it doesn't set my world on fire, but it's inoffensive. not keen on Hadley as it's a bit surnamey.

but really yr on a hiding to nothing asking on here. no matter what the name, people will either think it's chavvy, overused, boring or tryhard. My dd has a 'tryhard' name and my ds has not one but two 'dogs' names', I dgaf and neither do either of them. you do you and enjoy your baby is my advice.

I like Leah, and I also like Hadley. I'm not so keen on Allie as it feels like it should be short for something - Alexa, Alexandra, Alison, etc.

Hadley buys into that whole American surname as first name vibe. It sounds like a boy's name too.

Allie I would assume is short for Alison?

Lily is lovely
May/Mae is lovely

Together it seems awkward and a bit chavvy sounding.

Much as some on MN like to pretend names don't develop associations, they do.

Lillymae - horrible

I like Leah though. Hadley is nice too.

How about Harper?

Lilymae (anything Mae/Mai/May) makes me think of tracksuits and big hoop earrings.

Allie is cute. What would it be short for? I personally like Aliana and Alina.

Leah is not bad. Hadley is interesting enough without being obscure.
