May or Mae?

Girl Names
1

We have finished all the discussions and are ready to sit and wait until [name_u]August[/name_u] when the twins make their debut but…

If they are both girls, one will be [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]. The other twin will be [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. Which spelling do you Berries prefer with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]? Of course my husband prefers one and I prefer the other…but I won’t say who.

[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] or [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]?

2

I prefer [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], but I just love ‘ae’. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (whatever the spelling) are adorable individually and together. :slight_smile:

3

I prefer [name_f]May[/name_f] as a first name, especially with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] but also in general.
[name_f]Mae[/name_f] I like as …-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] or as a middle name.
So I would prefer [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f].

4

I would say [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] over [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] just because of the similar ends of “AE” and “NE” I think it’s too many e’s to look at if that makes sense?

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]May[/name_f]/[name_f]Mae[/name_f] are so cute!

5

I love [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. So both the girls will have different endings.

6

I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]May[/name_f]… [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is a “noun” name, and I like that [name_f]May[/name_f] is, too.

7

I prefer [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

8

I prefer the look of [name_f]Mae[/name_f], but I’m another that feels that paired with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (gorgeous name) it looks very ‘e’ heavy.
So I’d say [name_f]May[/name_f].

9

Yes I agree. On it’s own… I like [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] but together it is a lot of e’s. However [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]May[/name_f] might be too similar in that they both are words, have 3 letters and end in y. Hard call. But I do like the names.

10

[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is gorgeous! I much prefer the [name_f]Mae[/name_f] spelling.

11

I love the [name_f]Mae[/name_f] spelling.

12

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is gorgeous :slight_smile: Personally, I would chose [name_f]May[/name_f] Viviene to match [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]. However, I do really like [name_f]Mae[/name_f] as well. In fact, I love the name Maebry. (IMHO, I think they look great together too i.e. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] & Maebry). Good luck!! :slight_smile:

13

[name_f]My[/name_f] very favorite spelling is [name_f]Mei[/name_f], but I also like just good old [name_f]May[/name_f]

14

I second the vote for [name_f]Mei[/name_f]!

15

I love the [name_f]Mae[/name_f] spelling, [name_f]May[/name_f] feels more nicknameish to me

16

It doesn’t make sense to me to name your kid [name_f]May[/name_f] if she’s not actually going to be born during that month.

17

I don’t know. I don’t personally think of the month when I hear [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u] or [name_f]April[/name_f]. I do think of the month when I hear a less common name like [name_u]December[/name_u].

18

In this order:
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Maye[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Mei[/name_f]

19

[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]! I love the short and sweet names for your twins :slight_smile:

20

While I generally prefer [name_f]Mae[/name_f] over [name_f]May[/name_f], with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], I find [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] to look much more visually appealing as opposed to [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. I also prefer [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]May[/name_f] over [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f].
