I'm wanting opinions on Etta Mae. A double first name.

[babymoo]

I am really liking Etta Mae as a first name and wanted some opinions before I share this with my husband.

Well, here are my thoughts:

1- Etta Mae reminds me of the singer Etta James, which isn't necessarily bad, I just thought I'd let you know. How about Greta Mae? Nora Mae? Stella or Ella Mae?
2- You can switch Mae up to Rae or Fae
3- Now, think of the other names you have with all of these possibilities:
Nora Rae
Nora Fae
Stella Rae
Stella Fae
Ella Rae
Ella Fae
Etta Rae
Etta Fae
4- Maybe you could find a way to use Etta as a nickname or middle name, if you'll have one. (Since you'll have a double first name)
You could get Etta as a nickname by the name:
Loretta
Marietta
Nicoletta
Elisabetta
Julietta
Rosetta
Henrietta
Antonietta
Claretta (claire-etta)
Isabetta (variation of Isabella)


Hope I helped

I think Etta Mae is great! If it were me, I would change it to Etta Maeve to give the name more of a modern vibe.

I would do the same thing. But Etta Mae is great by itself too.

I think Etta Mae as a double first is so adorable. I really love the name Etta. My husband nixed it or it would be on our list. Short, sweet, and feminine!

Etta Mae is sweet!

Oh, I love that. Etta Mae is so sweet! I love Mae when it's attached to a first name like that. I don't care much for Etta but together it's perfect.

Love it. Would have considered Henrietta or Harriett (nn Etta) if didn't already have a Henry.

We're naming our daughter Aletta Faye..Etta for short. You definitely have my vote
