Maybe?!

So we found out a couple of days ago that our newest addition is another beautiful girl- something im still struggling to get my head around as I thought she was a boy.
We've not started discussing names in depth yet but ive thrown a couple out there.

I was pretty sure she would be Ada- as we had this picked out with our last baby but lost her, and it didn't seem right to use, but hubby is going off it.

We both like May- it's a name ive always come back to over the years and finally... Hubby actually likes it, after years of saying no!

My only reservation is its quite close to Amy- same letters and everything. I'm not fussed on the alternative spellings.

Possible middle names are Rosemary or Rose after hubbys Mum, or Evelyn because 1- I love it and 2- it's just a little nod to our angel Eve.

Our surnames Allonby and my other children's names are

Caitlyn
Ollie
Eve
Amy
William
Alfie
Alice
Eden

All thoughts welcome- good and back, and anything that pops into your head when you think of the nane inc possibly nicknames that may get picked up. Thanks 😊

Congratulations! I think Ada and may are lovely, it wouldn't put me off that you already have an Amy. i also really like Evelyn and rosemary
Others I like are Lilian, orla, Charlotte, Beatrice, Eleanor (my dd), camilla, Matilda, Madeleine

 

[LoraLoo]

Eleanor Is definitely one of my faves, and I really like Orla, Charlotte and Beatrice. I really like pretty feminine names that aren't too 'frilly ' x

Massive congratulations xc

I prefer Ada over May. Ada is really pretty and is timeless. May, in my opinion, is better suited to a middle name. I wouldn't worry about May having the same letters as Amy. I think they're different enough to not notice unless pointed out xx

 

[LoraLoo]

I think I like the simplicity of May. It is often used as a middle name but for some reason I personally wouldn't use it as a middle name as I think it's over used. I'm a funny one I know!

I do still really like Ada but think it's a little bit tainted now, and not sure if Id be able to talk hubby around again xx

I love all your names both the ones you've used and the ones you're considering! Which is not helpful at all is it haha.

May is gorgeous. I think it should be a front runner. I wouldn't worry at all about Amy and May I think nobody would ever think that much about it

Ada is fab but I understand why you wouldn't use it now

Evelyn is very pretty but also very popular at the moment. That may be something that doesn't bother you though

Other suggestions - my baby was going to be Ivy or Orla both of which I think match your children's names well.

When you think of the little ones, Alice and the new baby girl will be grouped together a lot, so Alice and Evelyn, Alice and Orla, Alice and Ivy.... I really do think Alice and May sounds the nicest!

Have fun choosing x

 

[LoraLoo]

Thanks Boo! It's nice to get other people's feedback especially when it's not a nsne commonly used as a first name. Xx

 

[MUMOF5]

How about maya, then it makes the spelling abut different to Amy and you could still call her may for short?? Or use the spelling Mae??

 

[LoraLoo]

I don't like Maya for us.. I don't dislike the name it's just a bit too modern...or the spelling Mae 😁 ... I probably sound like I'm being really awkward! 🙈 x

 

[purplerat]

I just wanted to say I love all your children's names! I think we have quite similar taste as I've got a William, Arthur and an Eleanor I think both May and Ada are lovely x

 

[Starlight32]

I think Charlotte Evelyn and May Rose sound really nice.

 

[Eleanor ace]

I love Ada, we considered Adeline with Ada as a nn. May is beautiful too, and like you I prefer it as a first name. I love Mabel too and would use May as a nn. I really like Beatrice and Eleanor (biased lol) too. Throwing some names I like out there which I think are similar in style:
Iris
Ivy
Harriet
Alba
Ruth
Audrey
Clara

I also love Rosemary as a first name.

 

[Boo44]

Mabel! I love Mabel

 

[campn]

May Rose sounds so pretty! I actually like Mae more since it's not in your face a month like May is! But I get how some name spellings are so personal! I love Juliette but hate Juliet!

I love how you want to include Eve into it =)

 

[minties]

I like May! It's Sophie's middle name and my OH's grandmas name. Ada I am never sure how to pronounce just right.

 

[MeganS0326]

What about Ava? We considered Adelia and Adelie too which I still like but DH didn't take to them. I really love love love Evelyn but know too many people who've used it lately so we didn't consider it.

 

[Blessedbaby]

May Rose goes beautiful together

 

[LoraLoo]

Ava is too popular here and a little bit too similar to Eve I think, although it is a lovely name x

 

[bubbles82]

I love the name Orla but my DH straight away said 'it sounds like oral' as soon as he heard it and it completely ruined it for me Our neice is called Isla too so probably too similar to that anyway. I still love it but could never use it now.

I think Iris is a nice middle name to go with May, and it's a nod to being a rainbow baby without being too obvious
