Does the name Olive Mac sound like I am describing a rain mac? Or am I overthinking that?

meant to say the full name will be Matilda Olive Mac , does that sound like I am describing a rain mac?

there are sentimental reasons linked to a friend with the Mac

So Olive and Mac are both middles? I think that’s totally fine. I was about to say just Olive Mac was fine anyway to my ear, as Olive is a name as much as a colour. If you were using say Blue Mac that would be different.

Yes that definitely makes sense, I think more of the tree for Olive also!

Is the olive sentimental as well?

Could you look at the order or I personally would just go for Mac?

Olive Mac in your first post, before you add the Matilda sounds a little bit like something you would see on a menu (like Mac n Cheese).

Yes both sentimental

If Olive and Mac are both middles I think it's fine.

Me too. If Olive was first name and Mac surname, I'd probably avoid. But middle names won't be said without the others and it's lovely that they're sentimental. So all round it's lovely.

I think you could honour Olive by using Olivia. It would run much better and not sound adjectival.

Matilda Olivia Mac.

Really not keen on Olivia but thanks for the suggestion x

What do we think of daisy olive Mac?

Prefer Matilda. Daisy is a bit twee.

Would it work as a flower name as first?

I like both Matilda or Daisy Olive Mac. I slightly prefer Daisy to Matilda so would go with that myself.

as opposed to a M&S olive mac?

I love Matilda Olive. Mac is tricky.
You run the risk of the second middle name being included as your daughter's surname.
For example:
Matilda Olive Mac Surname = Matilda O MacSurname.

Also, do you like the initials MOM Surname?

Won't the full name be something like Matilda Olive Mac Surname?
Will you be calling her little sister Jemima Scarlett Parker Surname?

Middle names don't get used much, but I'd not be using the ones you've mentioned. What really matters is does Matilda Surname sound good.

I don’t understand jemima suggestion?

Scarlett Parker & Olive Mac.

Oh I’ve got it now but it took a while and I actually like it. 🤣

If anything that’s probably made me see it’s not immediately obvious

Olive Mac does not sound good to my ears, no. In fact 'Mac' is not a name, is it?

Isn’t Mac a boys name? I’m not sure I’d use it with those names.

If you're planning on more children couldn't you have Olive as a middle name here and use Mac if you have a boy? Do you have to put all the sentimental names on to one child? I wouldn't want to have Mac as a middle name so I wouldn't do that to my child. The name might have meaning for you but will the child know who this person is? My mum went through childhood pretending she didn't have any middle names as she hated hers and hers didn't add up to an item of clothing or include a boys name.

It does a bit sorry!
Matilda is nice but I just don’t think Olive works with Mac

Daisy Olive Mac - an olive green mac with daisies on it. Matilda is better.
