another name to go with Mae

[jollyjoanne]

I'd like to call my baby to be 'Mae' but I am having real difficulty in finding another name to go with it - either before or after. Anyone have any suggestions? (surname begins with H if it helps at all)

Ella May is nicest IMO

My little SIL is called LillieMae (as a whole name). There is also an Ellie-May in her class.

Pole

Fly

I forgot to add there is a little girl in ds's school called, Maudie-Mae

I know a Maybelle. And a Frances Mae.

Florence
Martha

Its difficult because they do sound like questions "May Florence ... ?" or an answer Yes, Florence may ....

I think Mae is better as the middle name, I would rather be an answer than a question!

Mae Dawn?

I just read the Maybelle post and would like to second tht as a relly nice option!

Jessica Mae

Emily Mae
Eleanor Mae
Jessica Mae

Thanks for the suggestions - some of them are things we really hadn't thought of . . . now just gotta get DH to stop laughing at the silly ones like 'pole' and concentrate on the important matter of our daughter to be!

I've got a Verity May.

My mum is Ethel May... You Mae not want to consider that seriously!

We have a Clementine Mae and our surname starts with 'H' too....

I have a Scarlet Mae

the trouble is that its an auxillay verb.

May is much nicer.

As is shown by this thread, it's a very popular name at the moment. A little too popular??????

Yeah - very common at the moment. Loads of 'something' - Maes in our area! Dont do it!

I love the name. Quite a few little girls seem to have it as a middle name, but I think it sounds really lovely as a first name.

I would think you needed a 'softish' consonant to start the second name for it to roll off the tongue nicely. Like Mae Louise, Mae Louella, Mae Claire etc
