[name_m]Hi[/name_m] y’all! My husband and I are expecting our first - a girl - in [name_u]August[/name_u]! We both want a name that is sort of vintage, very feminine, and feels very sweet. The middle name will be [name_f]Mae[/name_f], since it is both my grandmother’s name, my middle name, and my best friend’s middle name. We have been kicking around the names [name_f]Raina[/name_f] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] for a long time. I adore the meaning of both names and how they flow with [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. I would [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] your guy’s input on which name is your favorite and/or other sweet, girly names that I may not have thought of. I live in the South, so all of my relatives are starting to ask about monograms, so I need to get my sweet girl’s name figured out! Lol! Thank y’all for any and all help!
I think [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is bang on - I think [name_f]Raina[/name_f] is cute but doesn’t quite fit with the girly vibe you’re describing.

For you I’m leaning towards [name_f]Luella[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] , [name_f]Gracelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] , Briella Mae ,[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]/[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] , [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Raina[/name_f] are both nice but they give me different feels!
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is sleek, sweet and feminine but with a dash of adventure and trendiness thrown in. [name_f]Raina[/name_f] is bubbly, quirky, cute but versatile! I prefer [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] just a little
Some other suggestions:

[name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is wonderful with the middle name and sounds like what you’re looking for. Good luck!
I prefer [name_f]Raina[/name_f], but [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] seems sweeter.
Tell me what you think of these suggestions! Also, sorry for any repeats.

Everyone gave great ides already.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] a word of caution: [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t cave in to the pressure of deciding on a name too quickly because people want to buy her things with a name on it. The worst thing that can happen is having everyone buy your baby things that say her name all over it, and you decide to name her something different. You’ll also feel beholden to the name because of the paraphernalia, and may have to battle with your own ultimate preferences.
Your friends and family will please G-d have plenty of time to buy your little girl things with her initials, even after she’s born. You don’t need it all ready to go when you go into labor. Make sure you’re good and ready and make a wise decision when YOU’re ready, not when the friends and family are pressuring.
Good luck!
Thank you for this piece of advice! 
It would be terrible everyone buys her monogrammed goodies and then we change our minds. We are definitely going to be sure before we tell anyone!
It seems that most people are preferring [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], which I adore, of course. I saw a few suggestions with [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], which I think is just the sweetest, but it reminds me of the scary doll. My husband loves [name_f]Clara[/name_f], but I think it might be too close to the ultra-common [name_f]Claire[/name_f]? I also saw [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] suggested, and with the nickname [name_f]Emme[/name_f], I think that’s just darling. Now I don’t know what to do, but I appreciate all of y’all’s help!!
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
With your goal being sweet, feminine, and vintage, I feel like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] fits that vibe much better than [name_f]Raina[/name_f], which feels a bit too modern. I also love [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] for you!

Oh my goodness, y’all are so helpful! I am going to run [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] by my husband, I find that one really sweet! And I love the nickname [name_f]Emme[/name_f]. The previous user suggested [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] and I do love that too, with the nickname [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. I also love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], but the only nickname that comes to mind is [name_f]Genni[/name_f], and I don’t think that I am a fan of that. I’m also realizing that I like names that end in -line! [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] is sweet but I’m not a fan of [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]. This forum is more of my brain dump and not a question anymore. Lol! Any input is still appreciated. 
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] - I know it’s not super vintage and more modern, but it’s hubby’s fave and I do think it’s sweet (don’t know if it is the one, though)
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Amabel[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
You’ve gotten so many lovely suggestions—just wanted to point out that [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] could also be [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivie[/name_f], which you might like better.
My suggestion is [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. So sweet, so feminine, and not over-used.
[name_f]Evie[/name_f] is just darling, and I never would have thought of that! Hubby said he liked [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] but is nervous that she might have to correct everyone from saying “[name_f]Emily[/name_f]” her whole life. But I love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] almost as much as I love [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]. And I like [name_f]Emme[/name_f] more than [name_f]Addie[/name_f]. Goodness, I don’t know what to do! Thank you to everyone who has given me advice!
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] I’m back again! I just thought of [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is so sweet and I love th nn [name_f]Emme[/name_f]! [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] is lovely too
I guess this is just a “me too” post at this point, but I wanted to say that while the name [name_f]Raina[/name_f] is great, to me it is the opposite of girly & vintage–it has always felt modern and tomboyish to me!
