I'm wanting opinions on Etta Mae. A double first name

Girl Names

I am really liking [name]Etta[/name] [name]Mae[/name] as a first name and wanted some opinions before I share this with my husband.

Well, here are my thoughts:

1- [name]Etta[/name] [name]Mae[/name] reminds me of the singer [name]Etta[/name] [name]James[/name], which isn’t necessarily bad, I just thought I’d let you know. [name]How[/name] about [name]Greta[/name] [name]Mae[/name]? [name]Nora[/name] [name]Mae[/name]? [name]Stella[/name] or [name]Ella[/name] [name]Mae[/name]?
2- You can switch [name]Mae[/name] up to [name]Rae[/name] or [name]Fae[/name]
3- Now, think of the other names you have with all of these possibilities:
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Rae[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Fae[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Rae[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Fae[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Rae[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Fae[/name]
[name]Etta[/name] [name]Rae[/name]
[name]Etta[/name] [name]Fae[/name]
4- Maybe you could find a way to use [name]Etta[/name] as a nickname or middle name, if you’ll have one. (Since you’ll have a double first name)
You could get [name]Etta[/name] as a nickname by the name:
[name]Loretta[/name]
[name]Marietta[/name]
[name]Nicoletta[/name]
[name]Elisabetta[/name]
[name]Julietta[/name]
[name]Rosetta[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Antonietta[/name]
[name]Claretta[/name] (claire-etta)
[name]Isabetta[/name] (variation of [name]Isabella[/name])

[name]Hope[/name] I helped :slight_smile:

I think [name]Etta[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is great! If it were me, I would change it to [name]Etta[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] to give the name more of a modern vibe.

4

I think [name]Etta[/name] [name]Mae[/name] as a double first is so adorable. I really love the name [name]Etta[/name]. My husband nixed it or it would be on our list. Short, sweet, and feminine!

5

I would do the same thing. But [name]Etta[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is great by itself too.

6

[name]Etta[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is sweet!

7

Oh, I love that. [name]Etta[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is so sweet! I love [name]Mae[/name] when it’s attached to a first name like that. I don’t care much for [name]Etta[/name] but together it’s perfect.

8

[name]Love[/name] it. Would have considered [name]Henrietta[/name] or [name]Harriett[/name] (nn [name]Etta[/name]) if didn’t already have a [name]Henry[/name].

We’re naming our daughter [name]Aletta[/name] [name]Faye[/name]…[name]Etta[/name] for short. You definitely have my vote :wink:
