Trying to decide

Girl Names
1

Ttc here, and Trying to decide which girls name I like more. Between [name_f]Mayla[/name_f] and [name_f]Maelie[/name_f].

I love the names [name_f]Layla[/name_f] and [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] but they’re very popular right now. And now I’m crushing on [name_f]Mayla[/name_f]. It would be a little nod to my mom born in [name_f]May[/name_f].

But then I came across [name_f]Maelie[/name_f]. Which is equally cute [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. And the [name_u]Lee[/name_u] sound could be in honor of hubby’s late mom. It was her middle name. Or would MayLee be better? Believe it or not both names have been in use for a very long time. I did a search on familysearch.

Opinions welcome”.

Note: with Adeleine as a middle to honor my grandmother Addie.

I think [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] looks more legitimate, [name_f]Mayla[/name_f] has a more trendy look, even though it has history as a name. Plus, I like the sound of [name_f]Maelie[/name_f]!

Best of luck!

[name_f]Maelie[/name_f] looks vintage, but sounds modern. I love it.

4

I prefer [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] which seems to be more convected to your family. I also like the sound and spelling. Agree with a previous poster that [name_f]Mayla[/name_f] looks a bit trendy and could get lost among all those [name_f]Layla[/name_f], [name_f]Kayla[/name_f], [name_f]Tayla[/name_f] names.

Thank you ladies! I’m glad there’s a little consensus among you. You make excellent points… Looks like [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] is the front runner.

6

Definitely [name_f]Maelie[/name_f]!

Yes thanks for your input! I’ve got [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] at the top of my list now. With nn [name_f]Mae[/name_f].

I definitely prefer [name_f]Maelie[/name_f], or something else like [name_f]Maelle[/name_f]. They all sound great with Adeleine

I also think [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] is adorable! If [name_f]Layla[/name_f] and [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] are too trendy, maybe [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] or [name_f]Kyla[/name_f]?

Another vote for [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] here! It’s so cute and I’ve never heard it before. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it and the “[name_f]Maelie[/name_f]” spelling =]

It even sounds a bit better than [name_f]Mayla[/name_f] (which is also adorable btw) with Adeleine. With [name_f]Mayla[/name_f] Adeleine the A’s might run together.

[name_f]Maelie[/name_f] Adeleine is perfect!
