We are trying to have baby number 2 so I’m thinking of names, we have decided on our boys name.

we have a daughter called Camilla Marie
we call her “Millie” for short or sometimes “Millie Marie”

I have always loved longer traditional full names with cute ie nicknames

we have two choices

Madelyn Mae-nickname Maddie /Maddie Mae
Carlotta Grace- nickname Lottie /Lottie Grace

boys name already decided:

Oliver James - Nickname Ollie

let me know your thoughts x

Madelyn Mae has significant chav vibes about it.

I agree with @RoseField1 — Madeleine is nicer than alternative spellings, which also run the risk of continual mispronunciation. Not Mae. I quite like Carlotta (the fiery bareback riding circus girl in Enid Blyton’s St Clare’s books, but Carlotta and Camilla are too samey together.

My thoughts exactly ☺️

On another note, Oliver James is dreadful. There’s actually a recruitment company called Oliver James.

I'd find it hard not to just say Made Lin. Madeleine is beautiful though.

I know Mae is a popular middle name but it feels very low effort compared to the rest of your middle name options.
