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 :))

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 ❤️

I love love Mabel and I prefer it of the two but it's way too similar with Meia - the May sound. Margot is beautiful too so I'd say that - and definitely the Margot spelling, not the Margaux!!!

Milah, Meia and Margot seems lovely to me.

MirandaBlu · 30/05/2023 18:24

I would go with Margot out of your final two (I also like Margo, but Margaux not as much - it just makes me think of the region of France). Mabel's fine on its own but I agree with PPs that it's a bit too similar to Meia in sound.

DisforDarkChocolate · 30/05/2023 18:33

Miranda. Absolutely the best girl's name.

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

Meia means sock in Portuguese

Baystar · 30/05/2023 19:27

No more kids for me but if I'd had another girl, I would have gone for Matilde, not Matilda, probs would be called Tilly though

@Weatherwife It can also mean "half" in its feminine version of the word (as Portuguese is gendered as it is a Latin language), as in "half a pizza" for example

AvoCuddle2 · 30/05/2023 22:13

I think Margot is lovely, but Mimi probably goes best with the other names.

Feliciacat · 30/05/2023 22:52

I like you choices of Mabel and Margot. I’m with other posters that Mabel doesn’t go well with Meia and I prefer Margot to Margaux.

I just thought of two more: Madelynn and Madison?

Freshlycutgrasss · 30/05/2023 22:55

Maeve is a beautiful name

Rockmehardplace · 30/05/2023 23:55

Margot

although my own favourite is Marsaili

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 31/05/2023 00:13

Prefer Margot or Margaux

If I was choosing an M name it would be Mariella or Marielle (I don't think they've been mentioned?)
I do like Meadow too.

Girlmommax2 · 31/05/2023 00:40

Want to start by saying thanks so much everyone, you’ve all made lovely suggestions and definitely made this process easier for us!!
We have decided on the name
Margot Blake ❤️
