Due in August and have been struggling with a third girl name, but am finally starting to narrow down a list. My girls now are Nora and Rose. We like names that are classic and don’t need nicknames. Middle name will most likely be Dorothy (family name). Would love your thoughts on my current list and any other suggestions you have! Thanks!
I like all 3 but prefer the spelling Claire. I do not think May is popular as a first name at all. You can’t go wrong but I’d lean toward Nora, Rose, and Claire Dorothy.
Thanks everyone! I had no idea May (as a first name) was popular anywhere!
If we spelled it Clare, would you all imagine she’d have her name constantly misspelled? I really prefer that spelling, but do not want to have her spelling her name for the rest of her life either.
Love Anna - how have I not considered that one yet?!
I think Claire is the default spelling for most people but Clare is also well-known enough. But yes I think she will have to correct spelling more often than most people.
May/Mae is very popular as a middle but I cannot think of any first name May/Mae that I have ever met (and I’m a teacher!!)
I have been teaching high school for the past nine years, and I have only have had one student named May. Not common at all where I live on the West coast.
