What do you think of the name Mayer for a girl?

Question

My sister really likes the name Mayer.

She was in love with the name Mila Rose but her friend actually named her daughter! My sister was obviously mad and wanted a unique but nice name for her baby.

My mom's maiden name is Mayer and my sister wants to use it as a first name. She is thinking Mayer Grace or Mayer Rose.

What do you think of the name Mayer in general? Which middle name, Grace or Rose.

Answer 1

I'll admit it - I actually like it. It's kind of cute. I love Mayer Rose.

Answer 2

I don't think Mayer is an appropriate girl's name. If she really likes that name, maybe use it as a middle name? I'm not crazy about that name to begin with, but it sounds better for a boy.

I'm sorry if it's not a response you hoped for :(

Answer 3

i dislike the name Mayer, but Mayer Rose is better.

ahh how evil of her friend to steal that name !

how about Milana Rose?

Answer 4

first thing i though of was Oscar Mayer, so i do not like it.

i do like Leah.

Love Audrey, Natalia, and Claudia.

Answer 5

Mayer is ugly as a first name, especially for a girl.

There are better 'M' names.  What about Margaux (Marr-go), Melia, Moira, Melina, Mabyn, Madalena, Maelys, Mallory, Marcella, Margaret, Miriam, Meredith, Mia, or Mira?

I don't care for Grace or Rose, they're extremely common middle names and very filler-ish.

Answer 6

grace and rose are my two favs why not grace mayer rose mayer rose grace or grace rose

Answer 7

Sounds to much like a last name (i.e. John Mayer)

But, I LOVE the name Leah!! It's one of my favorite names.

Answer 8

It's pretty enough, but I'd be worried about other kids calling her Oscar Mayer or Mayonnaise later on.

Maybe it could be shortened to May?

Answer 9

no.

Answer 10

not cute at all..

Answer 11

i think it is very cute

and remember its not your job to name the baby

so you cant name her lol sorry

i like mayer grace

Answer 12

My bologna has a first name...

Answer 13

Well it's from a common German last name since Mayer or Maier or Meier was common profession. Usually people who could read and right and were employed by royals or townships were called a Meier.

And it's not pronounced like the month May(-er) it is like My(-er).

So if she really likes the May sound I would rather suggest Maya.

Or if she wants to honor her Germanic roots she could go with Astrid or Ingrid or ilse or ilsa or Wendla

Answer 14

I like it spelt Maiya (:

Maiya Rose is beautiful .

Answer 15

Answer 19

yeah..i think of Mayer as more of a last name

but i really like the name Leah

but if your sister really likes it then.......

Answer 20

when you say Mayer i think Meyer which is a hot dog company (Oscar Mayer's Wieners), a little boy's names, and a last name.

Answer 21

I actually like it!  It does sound like a last name, but so do many other popular names.  I think Mayer Grace sounds the best and the nickname May would be precious :)

Answer 22

I don't really like it..sorry. It makes me think of John Mayer. It's not terrible, but there are nicer names out there! I like it as a middle name though.

But if she does use Mayer, both Grace and Rose sound very nice with it.

Suggestions:

Lorelai Mayer (laura-lie)

Avery Mayer

Quinn Mayer

Eliza Mayer

Lydia Mayer

Jolie Mayer

Ebony Mayer

Matilda Mayer

Piper Mayer

Chloe Mayer

Isla Mayer (eye-la)

Charys Mayer (care-iss)

Ava Mayer

Sienna Mayer

Charlotte Mayer

Natasha Mayer

Carly Mayer

Juliana Mayer

(any of these names will also work with Grace and Rose)

I hope I helped! Good luck! :-)

Answer 23

its okay, but for some reason it reminds me of a horse.
