Double barrelled girls names

[Caitlin2020]

Any ideas so far I like Harper Halle willow but would love a cute second part to the name ie Rae etc and unusual names???? Or not so common x

Everleigh-Rae
Tabitha-Rae
Paisley-Rae
Claudia -Rae

Would she be your only dc?
I knew a dm and a dsis who had 6 dc each. All had double barrelled names! My head hurt hearing them shouting on at the dc!

Harper-Halle with Willow as a middle name.

Why do you need to tag a superfluous sound onto the end? -Mai, -May, -Rae endings sound so twee. Give her a good, strong standalone name.

she Is my 6th 3rd daughter I only have one more with double who is Elle-mai I just like them or something really cute :)

My pet hate is using Mai but having it pronounced as May.. there’d not how you say it.,

Surely it's just adding to remembering who is who?? I have many many dc and in a fluster they get called allsorts - even the ddog's name sometimes!
Willow on it's own is lovely. Was on my list but had a ds last!!

How do you pronounce Mai if you don't say May 🤔🤔🤔.

@wendywoopywoo222

Ai should make a sound like eye. As in the way you pronounce Kai. So Mai should be pronounced like ‘my’

I’m afraid I’m not a fan of the double first name fad. I prefer a simple single name.

Harper on its own is lovely. With willow as a second name.

Every child I have taught drops the second part of their double barrelled name at secondary school so I honestly wouldn’t bother

American. Tacky. Apologise for tautology.

Omashu.

Ah ok. Thanks.

I’m the owner of a double barrelled name from the 70s and hate it.

Computer forms often don’t accept the hyphen so you get all weird and wonderful spellings.

They’re not cute. And even if you think they are, you’re naming a person who will be a grown up for a lot longer than they’ll be a baby, cute shouldn’t be a big consideration!

I'm with @percheron67 on this one, double-barrelled first names make me cringe.

I don’t think people should be so rude everyone has different preference and mai is said like may I just wanted to spell it different my choice!

@Caitlin2020 I appreciate that you say Mai like May. Just want to clarify that I was just explaining to someone else that ai is usually supposed to be pronounced like eye. Lots of people spell it like you though so it doesn’t really matter. I hope you don’t think I was being rude!

stereotypical mumsnet comment really.

It is a fad and not a good one. These names will date and what strong woman (which I assume you want your DD to become) wants lumbered with an 'ickle cute' name? That's what nicknames are for.

I am afraid I have to agree, Mai and May are different names with different pronunciations.

You (And then your daughter) would have to tell every single person that while you have spelt it as mai you actually want it to be pronounced as may.

No-one will pronounce Mai as My.
It's so common now that everyone will know it's pronounced May.

Me too, although it doesn't bother me at all. I very rarely come across a computer form that won't accept it.

Really? People now don’t know they are different names?

I am cleaRly out of touch. I feel sorry for the people called mai. It’s a beautiful name that has apparently been wiped out because people like To think they are being different by spelling may incorrectly!
