May on its own is nice. I have 4 dc and know about 10 lily mays of various ages! Hazel is lovely.

@SleighbellsZ I'm actually wondering if I prefer May or Mae!! I love the spelling of Mae

Both popular names from the esrly 1900s coming back into fashion
My grandmother was Lily, & a great aunt May, I love them both, but not together

Lots of Lily’s. Over use has spoiled it for me it’s run of the mill now.

I prefer the May spelling personally. Mae is cute (Southern US vibes) and kinda feisty (Mae West) for me but May has the Victorian elegance and pretty floral link (Mayflower - a fragrant plant with pink/white blooms).

Lily will probably be one of many Lilys throughout her life.
Not keen on May

Hazel is nice but Lily Hazel is too many plants

I love both names, especially Lily. But I don’t really like Lily-May together. I always hear a mum in the park call Lily-May! It’s just too common in my opinion.
