Re: What do YOU think?

Shaylee and Maylee both sound very recently made-up (by you?) and I'm not a fan of made-up names. I prefer a name with some history behind it. Also, even though I've never heard either name before, they both seem to fit into a sound that is trendy these days and I firmly believe in avoiding trends. Caylee, Hayley, Bailey, all popular, and these names sound so similar.
I understand that you don't like having a name that was extremely popular for your generation, but if you use a made-up name that has a trendy sound, even though the name itself may be very unusual or unique, it's still going to sound dated some day.
May is nice as a middle name, perhaps a bit fillerish, but I don't like Shay at all.
You'd be better off finding a name that is established but unusual--not high on the popularity charts, in my opinion.
I find Hayden Elle unattractive.
