what does everyone think of baby name

[shirmae]

I really want ivy as in my nanny ivy and I want mae for me and lacey for my cousin so I'm thinking Iveigh-Mae lacey so that's Iveigh-Mae8 for her first and Lacey* for her middle let me know x its my first so want it to be right im already settled on a boy name

My friend called her daughter Sofie. We warned her that she would be spelling it forever but she wouldn’t listen.

She now regrets not spelling it Sophie.

Iveigh is really awful.
Really awful.

Ivy is pretty.

I like the way Ivy Mae Lacey sounds but the spelling is dreadful.

Ivy May or Ivy Mae

Perhaps instead of calling your child after other people you could give her a different name that is truly her own?

Why ask what people think of the name only to get stroppy and decide your going to land your child with a name just to spite strangers on the internet? Grow up. Ivy May Lacey is a fine name but hyphenating with Mae has become very common and Iveigh does look made up and a bit try hard.

You ask for opinions, you get opinions....

It's truly bloody terrible. Purely due to the spelling, and the hyphenated names. Ivy (fn) May (mn) Surname would be so much better, and your daughter would thank you for it. Lacey cheapens it imo.

IncrediblySadToo
You could go for Iveigh Maiegh Laciegh

Winning post

Iveigh is ludicrous and people will assume you are illiterate. Mae has been done to death but have it if you must.

Don't ask if you don't want people's opinions.

changing up the spellings like that is considered quite bogan
Interesting word, bogan. New to me. I like it.

PlasticPatty Downunder 'bogan' is like 'chav' - so yeah not a compliment!

I love the name Ivy, and agree I would drop the double barrel and just do Ivy Mae Lacey

How you spell it is totally up to you but like many others I prefer the Ivy spelling.

keeps being rude but it just make me want the name more

You don’t sound mature enough to be raising a human.

Iveigh is ridiculous.... and massively chavvy and made up. Plus it's would sound like I-vay not vee.

Mae and Lacey make it even worse.

Ivy May is fine.

Yikes. Don’t call her that. Call her Ivy (spelt like that) sure. Even May as a middle name (spelt like that) is alright. But no mad spellings, no hyphens and no Lacey.

Iveigh is awful. Ivy is perfectly fine.
Don't ask us for opinions if you're just going to spit your dummy out when you get replies you disagree with.

Ivy May is nice - but anything hyphenated is horrid, and especially with Mae. Iveigh-Mae sounds like the name you'd give a child born to a teenage mother on a sink estate. Harsh but true.
Alternative spellings just make me cringe.

Depends how much you want people to secretly laugh at your child’s name. Which they will.

I’m sure ‘everyone’ doesn’t like it, they just don’t want to admit it.

And this is MN, you won’t get posters telling you what you want to hear, if you want everyone to agree with you, go to NMs.

I like the basic concept but not keen on the spelling. Rather than Iveigh-Mae Lacey I think Ivy May Lacey looks better but that's my personal opinion
