Mae as a nickname?

Girl Names

[name]Hi[/name]!
My hubby doesn’t really like shorter names as the mn. I really love the name [name]Mae[/name]
and wondering if this can be a nn for a longer name. We have a DD her name
is [name]Hannah[/name] and our last name is Roades.

Thanks!!

ETA: For middle names we usually go for a family name and I am thinking it could be
one of the following (but is definetly not nailed down):
[name]Ursula[/name]
[name]Jocelyn[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name]
Susiana
[name]Monica[/name]
[name]Alfreda[/name]

[name]Mae[/name]/[name]May[/name] is traditionally a nickname for [name]Mary[/name] or [name]Margaret[/name], so those two or any variants would work. Any M name would work, really.

[name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Marianne[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name]
[name]Margo[/name]
[name]Marie[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Margarita[/name]
[name]Marina[/name]
[name]Maren[/name]
[name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Magdalena[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name]

These are a bit of a stretch:

[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Amalia[/name]
[name]Amara[/name]
[name]Samara[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]

I love [name]Margaret[/name] and [name]Madeleine[/name] with [name]Hannah[/name]. [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Juliana[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Ursula[/name], or [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Susana[/name] nn [name]Mae[/name] would be gorgeous.

[name]Meaghan[/name], is an option for you it’s tradition and not overly used right now.

I love the name [name]Mae[/name]! Some longer name ideas:

[name]Maeve[/name]

[name]Mavis[/name]

[name]Mabel[/name] / [name]Maebelle[/name]

    • I really like the name [name]Hannah[/name]. I think [name]Maeve[/name] would go very well with her big sister’s name!! :slight_smile: I like [name]Maeve[/name] Susiana a lot!!

[name]Mae[/name] is usually a nickname for [name]Margaret[/name] or [name]Mary[/name], but if you wanted, it could probably work from anything that starts with Ma-. I think [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Mae[/name]/[name]Mary[/name] would be cute. Almost everyone has a family member a little ways back named [name]Mary[/name] or [name]Margaret[/name] too, so that works for you.

I agree with what most people are saying here, I would use it as a nickname for a longer M name. It’s super cute! I love it! Ecspecially with [name]Hannah[/name] I think it will be great. [name]Madeleine[/name] Susiana Roades nn [name]Mae[/name] is my favorite option for you.

[name]Maisie[/name] [name]Jocelyn[/name] or [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Juliana[/name] was my first thought. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Maisie[/name] nn [name]Mae[/name]!
