Mae, born in May

happilyever888

If this is a girl, Mae (my grandma's mn) will likely be her middle name. Slow me...I just put that together with the fact that this child will (very likely) be born in May, since my due date is the middle of May. It's only a middle name, but still. Do you think anyone will make the connection, and/or is this cheesy?

My middle name is Mae, it is a family name, AND I was born in May. I think it's a beautiful name and not cheesy at all.

It's just a middle name - I wouldn't worry about it at all. When she is born and people are just hearing her name, there will probably be some comments like, "Oh! Sarah Mae and she was born in May!" (just making up a first name here). But so what? I don't think it's a big deal.

By the way, I love the name Mae, especially as a middle. Go for it!

Mae is such a beautiful and sweet name that I don't think anyone will care and no I don't think it's cheezy at all I actually find it very endearing

Because it is a mn I don't think that you have to worry. Plus you are spelling it Mae instead of May. 

I think it is a very pretty name too!

No, simply say that Mae is a family name and the conversation will turn.

 

If your baby was due in April and were going with April...I think it would be harder to get away with it but Mae is spelled differently than the month.

I think if you were spelling it May it would be more of an issue, but with Mae and it only being the middle name, I don't think most people will even connect it.

As a FN definitely NO but since its a MN I think it almost makes it more meant to be

It's a middle name, so it won't come up too often so I wouldn't worry about it.  The family connection makes it not cheesy imo.

Don't overthink the MN.  I think Mae is a great name, especially for a MN.  The fact that it is a family name makes it an even better choice.  I say go for it!

Since it's spelled differently, and also a family name, I think you're good!

I think most people don't make a connection to names and birthdays, especially with a name like Mae.
