Girls names to go with Rae

[Dav87]

Hi!
We are giving our baby girl the middle name Rae, named after my sister 😊 Here are the names we have narrowed down to go with it:

Poppy
Evie
Lily
Safia

What’s everyone’s thoughts? Are there any other names you like that go nicely with Rae?

Thanks! x

Love all your names especially

Poppy
Evie
Lily

Not so keen on Safia

Other options Sadie or Molly or Marnie or Cleo or Elsie

Rae is a very popular filler middle name at the moment, along with Rose, Grace and May. Although I can see it has a personal connection for you. As such I'd choose I less popular first name. Out of your list I'd go with Safia as the others in your list are very popular

Agree with pp above that Rae is a filler name, and it sounds like an old man's name! My daughter has a filler middle name and I REALLY regret it. How about Laura Fern, Emerald Faith, Evie Fay?

I like Rae and it's nice that you have a connection to your sister.

Poppy - Personally I don't like the sound pop so don't like the name but I do think it goes nicely with Rae
Evie - I used to like the name but I have met a lot of teenage Evie's and they all have mental health difficulties.. obviously not because of the name but I just always make that connection
Lily - I like it and think it goes well with Rae
Safia - my favourite of your list 100%

@missmouse101 - I’ll tell my sister that one of my MN buddies thinks she has an old man’s name! 😂 I like your other suggestions though!

Thanks everyone, need to do some convincing of DH on Safia, but I really like it too 😊 x

Ezrie Rae

I think it sounds better with a name that doesn't end in a vowel sound
Safia Rae feels quite clumsy to say
Megan Rae
Arden Rae
Charlotte Rae

Arden is a beautiful name! ❤️

Hazel Rae
Shiloh Rae
Ocean Rae

Amber Rae
Scarlet Rae (love this, although a bit 'star trek' )
Ruby Rae
Mia Rae

Sorry but I think Safia will continually get misheard as either Sophia is Saskia (but much more common names). I say this as someone who had a 80s name that constantly got misheard growing up and found it so annoying (think Laura and Lauren type name)

Ignore typo

Sophia or Saskia not is

(Both much more common names) not but

So sorry for all the typos

Phoebe Rae
Delilah Rae
Darcy Rae
Rosie Rae
Bella Rae
Alice Rae
Maisie Rae
Lola Rae
Sienna Rae
Yasmin Rae

I get where you’re coming from if Rae was your sisters name.

However it’s so common as a middle name, along with mae.

So i’d actually be inclined to use it as a first name. It’s a lovely name in its own right and a shame to relegate it to an add on.

If you do stick with it as a middle name, don’t hypenate it. Or it’ll get lost amongst all the other -Rae’s and -mae’s and appear common rather than special.

Out of interest, what’s you’r sister’s connection with the name? It’s fairly unusual for anyone over 5!

Carly Rae
Dolly Rae
Lottie Rae
Amy Rae
Emily Rae
Winnie Rae
Della Rae
Suzie Rae

Corinne

I had no idea it was so popular!
It’s just my sister’s name, she was born in 1985 haha - only when I’ve started looking into baby names I’ve realised how common it is... I don’t know anyone else called it! 😐 Ha, typical!

Some really lovely suggestions, thank you. It won’t be hyphened with the first name, a stand-alone middle name.

Lots to think about... and then to convince DH! 😊 x

Cornelia
Felicity
Amber
Kitty
Bonnie
Aster
Viola
Emma
Robyn

I think a more cutesy name like Poppy or Evie makes Rae sounds more like a filler. If it's a stronger first name it learns that, somehow.

*loses, not learns. Ffs autocorrect!

Sophia.

Claudia Rae
Clarissa Rae
Heavenly Rae
Samantha Rae
Cassandra Rae
Elodie Ray
Alma Rae
Paloma Rae

Safia Rae is lovely. All the others are too popular.

Billy

I would just pick a first name you really like.

No one ever knows middle names. It doesn't really matter whether it goes or not.

From your list I prefer Lily.
