May it’s a lovely name and like Rose a shame it’s become a standard filler middle name.
I also like Mai which is Welsh for May and pronounced My.

Poppy. Not Mae. Or May.

May (definitely NOT Mae) is a lovely middle name, though not with Poppy.

May at a push. Not Mae.
Definitely not Poppy, so wet and infantile.
And most definitely not Poppy -Mae. Lol.

Poppy

with anything EXCEPT May/Mae/Grace/Rose as a middle name

Oh and even more definite no to any kind of hyphenation!

HappilyDivorced89 · 28/01/2026 10:16

Poppy - definitely

Poppy with anything EXCEPT May/Mae/Rae/Grace/Rose as a middle name.

Mae is awful.

I like them both so all depends on how it would sound with your surname

Mae is just awful.
