lillianne and sasha are lovely
don't like mai
sasha mai [sounds like raw fish - sashimi]

sasha jane (lovely), not keen on others, esp the spelling.

TheNewsMongersGeansaiNollag · 29/11/2008 11:24

OK.

Sasha Jane is lovely. It is fairly unusual now but may become more popular because of Sasha Obama. But it's lovely.

Lilianne Mai - umm, overkill, Lilian May looks classier and neater and less frilly imo. Lilian May or Vivien May lovely.

Lilian Jane or Vivien Jane also work well together. Less predictable than when paired with Mai/Mae/May

Definitely not Sasha Mai. That combination just doesn't gel together quite so neatly imo.

From your choices I'd go for Sasha Jane.

Inspired by your taste, I'd like to suggest Lilian Jane and Vivien Jane

How are you pronouncing the Mai? The Welsh way?

SoupDragon · 29/11/2008 11:46

Lillianne is, IMO, horrid whichever name you stick with it.

Sasha works either way.

don't do mai as a middle name - or may, or mae. done to death. how many ella-may/lola-may/lily-mays are there out there at the mo? it's pretty (my friend has ella mae) but cliched now, imo.

Is this for twins?

beanieb · 29/11/2008 18:08

Mai (pronounced 'my') is very different to May IMO

Yes Soupdragon I agree, not keen on Lillianne either.... Was meant to say Lilianna!!
Spelling Mai as the month may but wasnt sure of how to write it as didnt want it spelt like the month?!
Sorry Im not actually pregs so dont NEED these names but Sasha and Lilianna were the other 2 choices we had for dd before we had her. We had this discussion the other day when I had to do a prenancy test
Im glad your all saying jane though as this is my middle name and wanted this one the most but just wasnt sure if it sounded so good with the names!!!
