Hi lovelies,
Baby girl arrived yesterday and she is still nameless!
We had the name Mimi picked out for her but when she arrived my husband and I decided she didn’t suit that name.
We already have two girls called Milah
(mee-la) and Meia (mae-a)
Any M names are welcomed, thanks in advance for all the help :))

I really like the name ‘Mariposa’. It’s a little unusual but so are your other DD’s names (in a nice way). It means butterfly in Spanish in case you didn’t know.

i swear there is a kids film where a main character has this name?

Animated Barbie film?

Yep, I remember now: it’s one of the barbie movies. Beautiful name regardless 👍

It’s a Barbie film! Mariposa Barbie was amazing! Very contemporary to use a Barbie name too what with the film coming out.

Since I’m posting again, I thought I’d add that I like the name Meadow too. I got it from an NPC in Sims 2 haha. I’m not meaning to make light by suggesting such frivolous names. I just do really like them.

Meia? What was your inspiration for this name?

I’ve always loved the name Maya but pronounced like my-a and that was originally going to be her name but both my husband agreed that it didn’t said the best with Milah so instead changed it to meia!!

@Girlmommax2 Right, providing she never sets foot in a Portuguese speaking country she'll be fine.

I’m so confused at this comment 🙈
I feel like I’m missing something, I can’t tell it’s back handed or not 😂x

We have managed to narrow it down to two names but we’re still stuck!!

Margot/Margaux
Mabel

We both love these names so much so have no idea which one to choose so please let us know your favourite ❤️

Just to say my name, my DDs name and my DMs name are all in the first few posts of this thread. What a great initial ‘M’ is. Good choice!!

Caspianberg · 30/05/2023 15:12

Margo
Maple
Mabel

LadyDanburysHat · 30/05/2023 15:15

Mabel of those two

DuchessOfSausage · 30/05/2023 15:21

Margot/Margaux or Mabel?

Of the two, Margot, because Mabel and Meia both having a May sound.
The Margaux spelling is awful

Or lose the 'theme' and call your baby something else that suits her. Congratulations, by the way Smile
