I’d love to hear your favorite names that have the [name_f]Mae[/name_f] sound in them! My grandmother has been VERY honored in my family already so I’m always on the hunt for interesting ways to honor her (Mae was her middle name). So far, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], and [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] top the list for me, but I’m curious what I might’ve missed. Double barrels or compound names like [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] or Flora-May aren’t off the table, but I do prefer the less obvious options like [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. Which names with the [name_f]Mae[/name_f] sound would you add?
[name_f]Macie[/name_f] / [name_f]Macey[/name_f] / etc, [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Mayella[/name_f], [name_f]Maela[/name_f], [name_f]Mavis[/name_f], and [name_f]Maple[/name_f] come to mind!
My first thoughts were [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] and [name_f]Maple[/name_f], although i really like the idea of using [name_f]Esme[/name_f]!
Ones I haven’t seen anyone mention yet:
[name_f]Mavie[/name_f], [name_f]Maelle[/name_f], [name_f]Maelynn[/name_f], [name_f]Maila[/name_f], [name_f]Malia[/name_f], [name_f]Maelia[/name_f], [name_f]Ismay[/name_f]
These might lean a bit more maculine for you but: [name_f]Mavery[/name_f], [name_m]Mayer[/name_m], [name_m]Mayson[/name_m] / [name_m]Maysen[/name_m]
Some I don’t think I’ve seen are [name_f]Amélie[/name], [name_f]Mamie[/name], [name_f]Maya[/name] and [name_f]Mebh[/name]. I want to second [name_f]Mavis[/name] as well!
[name_f]Love[/name_f] the idea of [name_f]Esme[/name_f]! I also really like the previous suggestions of [name_f]Maple[/name_f] & [name_f]Ismay[/name_f]
I’m sure some of these will be repeats or ones you’ve heard – and I’ve thrown in some where the ‘mae’ sound is there, but with a sound inbetween – not sure if they count
