Middle names for May

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I was set on using May as a middle name for a hypothetical future daughter, but recently I've become pretty sure that I want to use it as a first name instead. To me, it has all the factors I look for in a name: I like the sound, it's an established name, it's not popular (not even in the top 1000), and it has a lot of meaning for me.

The only problem is, I can't think of a good middle name for it. The two middle names I like most (Ruth and Jane) are also one syllable, and I want to stay away from that. I thought of Elizabeth, but I'm not sure if it flows that well. Right now I'm thinking Vivian, because I like its meaning, and it seems to go pretty well with May.

Of course, I still have plenty of time to decide, but I was wondering if you guys could possibly think up some other middle name options for May? People in this community are really good at this!

May Lillian is pretty.

I like May, it's feminine and sweet. It's an anagram of my name, Amy, so maybe I'm biased :)

I can't explain why, but the first thing that popped in my mind was May Victoire.

Ooh, I like it... I especially like Victoire as a sort of less frilly version of Victoria.

Thanks! I like the spelling Mae as well, but I'm going with May because it has more meaning for me. :)

May Catherine came to my mind first, but Catherine is kind of a filler name these days. I love the name May / Mae though

I agree with the above person with May Violet.
