I like Elizabeth Mae. You're honoring both grandmothers. Since Elizabeth is also your name, call her Mae.

Mae only means "bitter" because it is a spinoff of Mary/Miriam which also means the same thing.

I haven't read through all the responses but I love the first name Mae. I also love Mae Whitman who is adorable and super talented.

I might, if I had a middle name like "Mae" (which I don't) and I were a fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald (which I am).

We were going to use Mae as a middle name, but ended up using another family name as the middle. The first name is a family name as well, but just in case you like it, OP, here it is: Marguerite.

+1 Aria Mae is pretty. Mae Claire is better than Claire Mae to me, but I don't care for these names together. She could still go by her middle name. Betsy Mae and Maya Mae are definite Nos. If you're set on using Mae as a middle name, the first name needs to be 3+ syllables and sound sophisticated and upscale. The first name should not start with M.

Samantha Mae
Violet Mae
Evelyn Mae
Vivienne Mae
Josephine Mae
Katherine Mae
Tabitha Mae
Theresa Mae

I think the difference between good and bad combos for Mae are how much they make you say it as all one name versus two distinct names: "Ellamae" (bad) versus "Theresa. Mae." (good).
