What do you think of the name

Mabrey Sheridan?  My H met someone through work a few months ago who had a daughter named Mabry (we like it spelled with the e), and I didn't know what I thought of it at first but it's really grown on me and now I love it.  Sheridan is my mom's maiden name.

We've told some people it's what we were considering for a girl, and most have just been eh about it.  Maybe because it's unusual?  But that's what I like about it.  I have a very unique name and I love it.  My mom keeps saying Mayberry, but I think she's doing it just to get under my skin

Our first choice for a girl name for years has always been Ella, but I think it's too popular now.

I actually really like it.  I'm keen on using maiden names as middle names too.  It's different, but for once it's a different name I like!!

I think it's cute! I also think who cares if people think it's eh- once they meet her (if it ends up being a her) they'll love her no matter what

You might want to think of nicknames- like are are you okay if people call her May?

My thought is that everyone will have an opinion on any name you choose, so if you and DH love it, then that's all that matters.  We've picked a pretty non-controversial name IMO, and there are still some people who had a lukewarm reaction.

I like it, but I also like unique names. We had several names picked out for boys and asked people their opinions which were always mixed and confused us even more. At one point we stopped discussing it with other people and decided ourselves. It's a very big decision and ultimately it's betwee you and DH-good luck!

I like it! My suggestion to you is to keep any name you choose to yourself until the birth because people are super annoying about names.

Just curious do you pronounce it w/ a long A or a short A?

I like it.  Its unique but doesn't sound made up. I would stop asking for everyone's opinions because most people lean towards the more classic names.  If you and your DH like it, that's all the matters.

I think it's a fantastic name, but I like non-traditional names.  I think it goes very nicely with Sheridan.

My kids all have unique names, and I didn't tell them to our IRL friends/family until after birth.  Same is true for this little girl.

Cute! I would also suggest keeping names or the name you choose to yourself. It's really annoying when people give you their opinion about naming YOUR child. It should be 100% your decision and people will learn to accept it once the baby is here and the name has been officially given.
