What do you think?

Honest opinions please. We love this name but friends and family are pretty mixed:

Conley Mae (for a little girl) 

Thanks!!  

Re: What do you think?

  • Hmm, Conley is NMS, it just doesn't strike me as feminine. I love love love Mae.

  • It sounds like a boy's name? It's NMS, but I rarely like unisex names, fwiw.
  • I know people with this as a last name.  If it had to be used as a first name it would sound more like a boy's name.  Honestly I think it's awful.

  • Have you considered Connelly?  It's still a male name, but maybe a bit more feminine than Conley?

    I didn't think it could get worse than Conley Mae.

    I was wrong.

    Thanks!!  

    Conley is a boy name or a last name. It doesn't say girl to me at all. I like Mae. 

  • I'm just not a huge fan of using surnames as first names.
