[name]Hi[/name] everyone!
My hubby and I are deciding between two names if our baby (due in two months) is a girl; but I would love your opinions on this. Are these names too “old” for a baby?? We want something simple, classic and unique.
Here they are, paired with the middle name (which is a family name, so it’s non-negotiable)
Can’t think of a name more new fashion than [name]Maeve[/name]! I also happen to love it. I think [name]Maude[/name] is also newly returned to fashioned, but [name]Maeve[/name] is the clear winner.
Thanks ladies for the quick reply!!! It really helps to have an outside opinion, as we aren’t telling anyone in our family until the baby comes.
@ Nin17 - [name]Ivy[/name] was our third choice, I think that’s a great name too!
I love [name]Maeve[/name], and while [name]Maude[/name] is certainly one that I can see being revived in the near future, I think a lot of people consider it along the lines of [name]Gertrude[/name]. I also think [name]Maeve[/name] Nadalin sounds much better than [name]Maude[/name] Nadalin.
I think [name]Maeve[/name] is an excellent choice - spunky, fresh and unique. It’s simply lovely! I agree with previous posters that I don’t see [name]Maude[/name] being revived anytime soon. [name]Just[/name] my opinion though!!! Good luck naming!
In addition to being a bit fresher in sound, [name]Maeve[/name] Nadalin is much easier to say than [name]Maude[/name] Nadalin, in my opinion. [name]Maeve[/name] is great! Go for it!
I think [name]Maeve[/name] is great! I have a friend called [name]Maeve[/name] and I’ve always liked her name I’ve never thought of it as being old-fashioned.
The only down side (though it isn’t very bad) is that people always mis-pronounce her name and call her [name]Mauve[/name] (her favourite colour is purple so she doesn’t mind much!)
[name]Maude[/name] is alright as well but I much prefer [name]Maeve[/name]
I love both names although [name]Maude[/name] has a more “old-fashioned” feel to it than [name]Maeve[/name]. So it will have to come down to the flow of the name and I think [name]Maeve[/name] paired with the middle name Nadalin has a better sound. I hope that both names go well with your surname. Best wishes.
Gosh, I love them both! Neither are too old-fashioned at all. If I had to pick a favorite, I would choose [name]Maude[/name] over [name]Maeve[/name], but both are lovely! Great choices!
