Middle name for Ellamae?

Kristina052707 · May 2011

My cousin is naming her little girl Ellamae. Ella from an aunt and Mae from another aunt. She needs a middle name that would fit with this name though and I had not clue... Any suggestions for her? Thanks!

Ellamae? That looks like a hot mess. Why not just Ella Mae?

This makes me think of Elly May Clampett.

I have no idea... She was also throwing around Gracelynd, which reminded me of graceland so I at least thought that Ellamae would be a tad better?

Ehh... this.

I love Ellamae though think Ella Mae would work best.

I agree... Ella Mae would be best. Even though Mae would be her middle name, she could still go by Ella Mae.

AGREED

I prefer Ella Mae (and legally this can be done without having Mae as a MN. I have a friends whose name is Anna Lynn as her first). Regardless, that isn't what you asked. I think a simple middle name would work best. I like Jean or Grace with Ella Mae.

I also prefer Ella Mae. It's a beautiful name.

Ellamae Gracelynd is simply awful.

Ella Mae = nice name

Ellamae = really country to me, like the Clampetts

I think it has something to do with where the emphasis is when it's all blended together versus separated out.

If that's the case Ellamae sounds as classy as Elizabeth! Indifferent

Okay... I'll roll with it.

Ellamae Savannah

Ellamae Kathryn

What's wrong with Ella Mae as her first/middle name? I think that sounds adorable.

Ellamae is okay, but Ella Mae is really cute.

Agree

DD's name is Ivy Mae and I would say about half time we call her by her full name.

Yep! That was my great grandmother's name.

Or have two "middle" names-- Ella Mae ____

MrsD4911 · June 2014

I think Ella Mae is much better - and I would just always say her full name, it is a really pretty name (when put like this).

macchiatto · June 2014

I would really encourage Ella Mae ... or even Ella-Mae would be better than Ellamae.

You're right though, it's definitely better than Gracelynd; yikes!

Zombie thread?

I don't like the way the smoosh name looks.

With DD1 we named her Shelby Kate as her fn and then chose a family name as her mn. If I didn't have a family name that I really wanted to pass along then I would have just named her Shelby Kate with no mn.

Ella Mae looks so much better than Ellamae.

Also, isn't your daughter Ella Marie? Isn't Ella Mae a little too close to that? I know you said you were cousins, but if you are asking for her here you both must be pretty close friends?

This is an old thread but I'm thinking perhaps she was asking for herself and not a cousin since she ended up with a daughter named Ella Marie about nine months after this was posted....
