HelpRe: In honour of mother's day yesterday here in Scotland
in reply to a message by Vekalvin
My mom is Loretta May.
I would not use either of them but I would consider using Maeve or an -etta name or Lorelei especially for a mn. I guess I wouldn't be opposed to Loretta as a mn but May/ Mae is way too bland.
My mother-in-law is Leslie Eleanor on her birth certificate but at some point she got confused and thought her mn was spelled Elanor so that is what she uses. I prefer Leslie for a boy and I love Elanor/ Eleanor but my mother-in-law is strongly opposed to honoring names for living people. She actually dislikes all honoring names especially fn's unless all the people who knew that person in your family are also dead. She feels that no pressure should be placed on a child to take after a loved family member or friend.

Favorite Names:
Dorothea, Marguerite, Aurora, Fiona, Artemis, Vivian, Hazel, Clara, Leona, Luna, Maeve, Iris, Frida, Matilda, April, Flora, Cascadia, Serafina
Kieran, Rowan, Brendan, Tristan, Cedric, Cedar, Arthur, Magnus, Malcolm, Adrian, Julian, Robin, Connor, Xavier, Gryphon, Gavin, Teagan
