Hello friends!

I'm new to the community..and so far, I like it.

So here's my question: I'm mulling over girls' names, and I am totally lost. I lean torward more traditional names, but nothing too common, such as Isabella. (Plus, the name is taken by my sister-in-law.) So anyway, both my husband and I have maternal grandmothers with the name Mae, with my grandmother having the name Ella Mae and his just being named Mae. I would l love to be able to incorporate that name in a creative way without having it sound too "Beverly Hillbillies" (Ellie Mae Clampett).

• I absolutely love the name Lydia, but not with Mae.
• I thought about reversing it and using the name as Mae-Ella, with an additional middle name.
• Our last name is Cole.

With that said..does anyone have any nice ideas for a little girl, meeting those criteria?
