[name_f]Etta[/name_f], and I prefer it as a standalone name. [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is extremely overused as a middle name and as the second part of double-barrelled names where I live, which has taken the shine off it for me, even though it’s a perfectly sweet and stylish name.
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] is fun, funky and youthful. Something long, pretty and bold for the middle name, like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], would be stunning.
I love [name_f]Etta[/name_f]! It’s unique and so sweet. I’d pick a long, feminine middle name like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] etc but something spunkier like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] works too.
I prefer [name_f]Etta[/name_f] (just [name_f]Etta[/name_f]). [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], like pp mentioned, is super cute. Some other middles that spring to mind: [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
I prefer [name_f]Mae[/name_f], though like the tradtional spelling [name_f]May[/name_f] even more. If you use [name_f]Etta[/name_f] though I would stick with just [name_f]Etta[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Mae[/name_f], it feels more youthful. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] is nice too, but, unusually for me as I’m not a big fan of nickname names, I prefer it as is. [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] is a bit too stuffy for me.
