India-Mae

[elliehoneysnow]

What do you think of the name India-Mae?
Any similar names you can think of?

I like both but as individual names and not hyphenated

I do like both names but agree with PP. hyphenated names seem a bit early 2000's.

EVERYONE is tagging Mae on the end of name just now, don't do it

Do you have any connection to India?
I prefer May, I find Mae ugly.

No to both - alone or together. I say this as someone with a hyphenated name. It's cringe

This!

I really don't like it
I'm not a fan of place names and everyone sticks Mae on the end of their kids name.

India ok but not with Mae. Why would you?

India
May

On their own and spelt correctly, beautiful. Double barrelling the name makes it awful.

Indira May.

I like India or mae/may rather than the 2 names (feels a bit like hedging bets to use 2 or like you couldn’t find one name you liked enough). If you like longer sounding/place names you could go for
Indiana
Savannah
Sienna
Indigo
Georgiana
Olympia
Adelaide

Or if you like a long name ending in or including an “ay” sound you could go for:
Esmay
Ismay
Loralei
Leilani
Leia
Leila
Paige

I don't really like hyphenated names (nor do data bases).
Personally, I don't like place names for people either.

I always think Mae / May as a middle name sounds like the start of a sentence ... "Louise may want to ...."

So, overall, I agree with everyone else. Not for me.

Drop the -Mae

Loose Mae or at least spell it May. It looks wrong

I mean I taught a Charlie-Jade in the 00s so that's similar.

Oh and an Aimee-Jo...

Hard no to a hyphenated name, and Mae has been done to death. It also doesn't go with India.

Mae is lovely was my nans name 🥰 luckily she won’t no people think it’s “ugly”. Only ugly thing here are those judgmental people 🤮
it’s a lovely name and definitely hyphenate it!

Personally, I would lose the hyphen. But if you like it, then you shouldn’t care what I think!

It's my (25yo) niece's name - but May rather than Mae - so I love it. Don't hyphenate though

You no more have to have a connection with India to call your daughter that than with France to call her Louise.

This. India is nice though.

I don't like India. Especially if you're white British?

Not unless you’d call a child Poland or Guatemala.

And Anything-Mae is bad.

😂😂😂

Hyphenated Mae will massively date. Sounds like an influencer baby
