Daisy-Mae

[suesgirls]

Hi, i'm due another little lady soon who i am planning to name Daisy-Mae or Daisy-May. I already have a 2 year old called Lexie-Rose so I definately want the hyphen in there.

Do you like Daisy-Mae or Daisy-May?

personally i dont think you should worry about whether it will suit her as an adult,I think peoples names grow up with them.dont know about you but ive never met anyone and thought 'my what a babyish name'!

And i like Daisy-Mae/May

not my cuppa

I like it.

What about Dulcie-May?

Chavtastic? Council house? So frigging what. It's a great name and there are plenty of great Daisy's.

Lol do you think Jayden's too posh too?

Of course you don't have a Daisy

Go for it (as long as your surname isn't Clampett)

Makes me think of Kerry Katona. Lilly-Sue...That sort of thing.

Clearing my mind of all the council/chav/Jeremy Kyle stuff and getting back to your question...

I prefer Daisy-May to Daisy-Mae and both of them to Daisy-Jo.

fwiw I think Mae is a pretty name, I just don't like hyphenated names as IMO they make both names sound less appealing than when they stand alone.

I used to work part-time in Peter Jones (that's Sloane Square's John Lewis for the uninitiated) in the soft furnishings department, so I saw and served many 'up-market' mothers with children (this in itself could serve as basis for a standalone thread of RAGE).

Anyway. I judged them for having incredibly horrible baby names just as much as I judge the chavs on my bus for doing the same.

Daisy is a HORRIFICALLY bad name whether you are on a council estate or in a mansion. Why any mother would inflict that name upon their child I will never know.

padraig - that is your opinion. One that you are quite entitled to.

But the thing about the posh is they don't care!

You see I don't mind hyphenated names.

I have good friends my own age with serious jobs called Emma-Jane, Sarah-Jane, and Marie-Claire. All very 'of their time' 1970s names. And they are all usually referred to by their whole name as well.

I do think hyphenated names are a bit overdone now though...

Lockets, My original middle name was Rae (I'm adopted and 32 so not a trendy thing) and though of course to some people the names (Mae/Rose/Rae etc) have meaning, to most now I don't think they do.
When I was at school it tended to be Jane, Louise or Marie, as the standard issue middle names.

I guess it's the same as not everyone named Taneesha-Assole-Mae is a child of a chav who can't spell and has quite mean parents, but unless you want people to think that, you avoid using it.

Not fair, but true.

I don't think chavs do either - otherwise they wouldn't give their children names like Axel and Whitney

I think hyphenated names such as Sarah-Jane, Lilly-May etc make the person sound really young and girly and tbh I wouldn't want to be a company director aged 40 with a name that sounds like it should belong to a little girl with pigtails.

May was my grandmother's name, is one of my middle names, and would be one of DD's middle name except that combined with her first name it would sound too much like a cow.

OP - don't do it. I like the names, but at the very least don't hyphenate them. If you must, then May rather than Mae.

What is this people's fixation that people with certain names can't do certain jobs?

Condalisa Rice?

I think the posh people are too busy with maintaining their fake tans to care.

Likewise I think the chavs are probably too busy finding knock-off designer clothes.

padraig
posh people don't do fake tans.

Lol, yeah the Neuvoux Riche with their fake tans, Gucci handbags and precious Daisy Mays

And posh people don't have Daisys either haha

i do love Annie-Rose
