Hi.

What do you think of our shortlist for our girl due next month? Complete coincidence that they all begin with M!

Maisie
Mabel
Maeve
Maya
Martha

Middle name suggestions for any of these are welcome too! 😊

For an idea of the type of names we like, other ideas we had before we got to our top 5 include Grace, Olive, Willa, Ella, Anna, Claudia and Mia. Considering these for a middle name but open to new suggestions too!

I love Maeve and Martha, followed by Maya but that’s less “classic”. The others could be a bit cutesy as they get older. These are also the least common (Maisie and Mabel very popular around here). I like that the above don’t have obvious nicknames either so you’ll get people using their actual names. I know a Martha though whose mum calls her Moo for short which is cute 😊

I love maya but prefer maeva

Bethany
Abigail
Miriam
Harriet
Clara
Annabel
Hetty
Mariana
Eleanor
just some random names as I’m currently unable to sleep!
be careful when picking a middle name, by accident my daughters initials spell bag!!

If I had a second child I would have named them Harriet.

Maisie or Martha are nicest I think.

Second name suggestions:

Violet
Sylvie
Leah
Isabella
Elizabeth
Elsie
Matilda
Florence
Paloma
Camille
Beatrix
Lara
Ruby

Martha is my favourite but I am biased!

MrsOwainGlyndŵr · 03/08/2022 06:09

Maisie, Mabel and Martha

All followed by Elizabeth.

Purpleavocado · 03/08/2022 06:30

I like Maeve and Mabel. Rose or Grace work as middle names for both

Mumofgirls2017 · 03/08/2022 08:43

I like them all although struggle to see Maisie on an adult. I really like Martha and Mabel.

Miriam
Molly
Mallory

AWobABobBob · 03/08/2022 09:49

Maya Willa

ariesalien · 03/08/2022 10:06

Maisie, Mabel and Maeve are my favourites - so cute.
I do like Martha as well, it just wouldn't be a personal choice for me!

Not keen on Maya.

babyjellyfish · 03/08/2022 14:03

From your list I like Maya the best.

UsernameIsHarderThanBabyName · 03/08/2022 18:32

Love Maeve, Mabel & Martha (Maeve most)

I also really like Maisie but its my cats name

Ontomatopea · 03/08/2022 19:48

Martha is a brilliant name

Luredbyapomegranate · 06/08/2022 22:47

I’d go for Claudia - lovely and underused, or the classic Anna.

Claudia Anne or Claudia Annabel?? Or Anna Claudia

Grace, Ella, Mia, Maya have all been done to death, Maisie and Willa are wet, and I know Olive and Maeve are popular now but they are very lumpy, kitchen drudge Martha is lumpy with bells on.
