Can Mae be short for Madeline?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!

I just wanted to ask if you all think [name_f]Mae[/name_f] could be a nickname for [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] (-[name_f]LINE[/name_f], not -[name_u]LYN[/name_u]). I don’t know if it’s a stretch and I should just go with [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. XD. Thanks!

I definitely think it could work. It’s a cute nickname!

Absolutely, I think it works really well.

[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is on my list so yes, I think it works well!

I think it works, though you’ll have to swim against the “[name_f]Maddie[/name_f]” current for a few years.

I not only think it works but have considered it as a nn myself.
It is also infinitely nicer than [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] IMHO.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it!

What about Maeven, I think it’s cute and modern!

I <3 using Mae as a nickname for Madeline

[name_f]Mae[/name_f] can definitely work for [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is that type of nickname you can get away with for most Ma- names.

sorry i think it is a stretch

no. I think it is stretching it.
