[Opinions] Maeve or Maia?
Just playing around with my Elodie combos. I really want an M middle name, so I can use the occasional nn Emmie. I like Maia better but I think Maeve sounds better. pretty set on Delphine as the second mn.
So, which do you like better? NOTE: I prn. Elodie the French way- as Ay- not Eh-.
Elodie Maia Delphine
or
Elodie Maeve Delphine?
Any other M names you think would sound good in that spot?
Elodie M____ Delphine
Thanks :)

You're right. Every second girl here is named Maia/Maya. I've met so many of them in the last few months. Canada is the same- I met 9 Maya's in one month there. But back home in Aus, where I'd most likely be when naming children, it's really not common, so I'm ok with that.
And you are officialy the first person to vote for Maeve :)

I think Elodie Maia Delphine is absolutely stunning. I love Maeve, but don't think it works in this combo.
Other M name ideas...
Elodie Merewen Delphine
Elodie Manola Delphine
Elodie Mara Delphine
Elodie Marina Delphine
Elodie Mira Delphine
Hmm, it's kind of hard to pair because you don't want anything too long or complicated sounding. I still think Maia is the best option of all and wouldn't change it! Although I do like Mara or Mira too.

I think that Elodie Maia Delphine sounds much better, even though I prefer Maeve just a tad to Maia.
When I say Elodie in French there isn't an Ay- sound at the beginning. It's still ELL-lo-dee. Ones of those names that sounds almost exactly the same in English and French for me. Maybe it's just differing accents? I'm not from France or Europe.

Possibly.
The family I work for here are Swiss-French and they say El-. I know cause I may have named one of the characters Elodie when Anissa and I made a story book together. I jsut wanted to hear them say it! But the first time I heard the name was skiing in the French alps (on the sweetest little blonde haired blue eyed girl) and they prn. it Ay-. Looovvve it in a French accent.
I would write it with the accent over the E, which makes it into the Ay sound (as in Renee or Cafe). Just not sure how to type the accent on here (plus it doesn't link to them name if I do).
