Sister for Mattie Mae

[flashy09]

Maple June is my husband's favorite. I'm just worried people will call her Mae. Any nickname advice? I see you also have a Maple!

I do have a Maple! I haven't had any trouble with people or even myself wanting to shorten to Mae. I think the "ple" ending is so short and rolls right off the tongue that nobody is tempted to shorten it. I have had a fantastic reception to the name and I was really nervous to give it as I have a very traditional family. It's worn very well and I have no regrets.

Charlotte Maple - Beautiful, regal, stands alone but works well with sibset. Looks slightly more formal than her sister's name.
Maple June - My favorite of your short list. I agree that Maple doesn't need to lead to Mae. She can be Mape, or Maple, or even Poppy or Pippa. Maple June is my #1 pick.
Aria Maple or Auria Maple - I prefer the Auria spelling, & I DO think it works with Mattie Mae. I think the nickname Ria (Rhea) would be a supercute vintage spin. Auri (or Ari) & Mattie is cute, too.
Hadley Maple - My least favorite of your short list. I really like the possibility of the vintage nickname Haddie but that seems SO close to Mattie. I also think it might be a mouthful to yell "Mattie & Hadley!!"
Hannah Maple - I'm on the fence. I love Hannah, I love Maple. I love Mattie & Hannah together. I just like Maple June better
Maple Annabel - I LOVE Maple, I have such a soft spot for this name. Maple Annabel is sweet as long as her initials don't spell MAD

Erg - I posted some suggestions while I was at work, but I don't see them!
My list was:
Tessa/Tess
Kate/Katie
Charlie
Max
That's all I can remember, anyway.
Jessamine/Jessamyn or Jessamy nn Jessie/Jess would be really cute too
Maple and Mae are so very similar, and I like Mabel, but I'm not a fan of Maple as a name
From the names that you have already listed, I think you should go with Charlotte - nn can be Charlie, which is also boyish like Mattie, or Lottie, which is very vintage.
Annabel - nn Annie would be great too

We've now narrowed it down to either Hannah Maple or Aria _. My husband has decided he doesn't like Aria Maple June, he doesn't understand why anyone would need 2 middle names, he also doesn't understand that it's just cute. Of course! So, I feel like Mattie and Hannah are just perfect for each other but I can't shake my love for Aria and I love Maple just as much.

Love Mattie and Olive- they go well.

What does everyone think of Isla and Mattie? We've decided we don't want another "ie" ending name. Also, the first name can not start with an S if the middle name starts with and M. So many stipulations. It's so hard to find the perfect name.

Isla seems a little prim next to Mattie. I think of Mattie as being a little more casual.

Hmmm. So frustrated. Nothing seems to feel right and why is it so difficult to find something that goes well with Mattie Mae? We don't really want another "ie" name and we would kind of like something a little more feminine since Mattie is a little boyish. I just keep coming up empty.

Mattie Mae and Sadie Joy.

jeska, I think Sadie is the best name and one we keep coming back to. I also like the idea of a 1 syllable middle name. Not sure about Joy though.
