Hubby wants a strong, meaningful name that starts with M and does NOT end in A. I’d like a beautiful, meaningful name that isn’t very common. We had our son’s name locked down before the end of my first trimester. #2 is already six days overdue. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
What is your son’s name? [name_m]Just[/name_m] to give an idea of names you both like.
It might be helpful to know your son’s name to get an idea of your style. Here are some names that I like for you:
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] (beautiful, loving, lovable)
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] (flower)
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] (pearl)
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (pearl)
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] (pearl)
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] (powerful queen)
[name_f]Maple[/name_f] (nature)
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] (star of the sea)
[name_u]Marian[/name_u] (warrior)
[name_f]Meadow[/name_f] (nature)

Good luck with baby #2.
Best wishes.
I’ll try and help. 
Without knowing your style, here are some of my favorite, less common M names:
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Mamie[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariette[/name_f]
[name_f]Marin[/name_f] (accent on the second syllable, rhymes with [name_f]Corinne[/name_f])
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]
[name_f]Melisande[/name_f]
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Muriel[/name_f]
Good luck!
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] (or its variants). I like [name_f]Della[/name_f]/dell for a nickname instead of maddie
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
I’d suggest [name_u]Madison[/name_u] because it is strong sounding, but it’s so popular that I’m a little tired of reading it everywhere.
I like [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] or [name_f]Margo[/name_f].
To those I’ll add:
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Maryse[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f] (doesn’t get much better, meaning-wise)
[name_f]Marcheline[/name_f]
[name_f]Mazarine[/name_f]
Morwen
[name_f]Martel[/name_f]
[name_f]Madrigal[/name_f]
[name_u]Madigan[/name_u]
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]
[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Millay[/name_f]
[name_f]Maelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Maven[/name_f]
[name_u]Mirren[/name_u]
Merit
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] (love this)
[name_f]Mirabeau[/name_f]
[name_f]Mavis[/name_f]
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like any of these?
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
[name_u]Madison[/name_u]
If you want an elegant, sophisticated and very feminine [name_m]French[/name_m] name then I suggest [name_f]Margot[/name_f].
rollo
[name_f]Melisande[/name_f]! I know it feels dainty and very feminine and gentle, but means work strong (elements work and strength).
Also think [name_f]Melisande[/name_f] is much better than [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], after all, they are pronounced and spelled differently. And, [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] is grandma name and will probably stay grandma name for a while.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f]? It means “mighty warrior” which I think is absolutely awesome.
[name_f]Marine[/name_f]
[name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcy[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Murran[/name_f]
[name_u]Madison[/name_u]
[name_f]Madalyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
[name_f]Morvan[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Maci[/name_f]
[name_f]Maliyah[/name_f]
[name_f]Maven[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]
Thanks for all of the great suggestions! It looks like our son, [name_m]Darius[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] will be a big brother to [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].
Congratulations!
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is a fine name, but one you may wish to reconsider in keeping with the style of your son’s name (it’s terrific!).
For example:
[name_m]Darius[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] {and} [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
