    Weird name?

    Shady Mae? My wife and I really like it, but are worried about our daughter dealing with teasing. Also with her adult life will she be frowned upon based on a unique and peculiar name?

    That is definitely too weird. Being called 'shady' is not a good thing!

    I like unique names, but Shady has some negative meanings. I think of a dishonest person or someone who cannot be trusted. You can use Shady as a family knickname, but do her a favor and keep looking for the right name. Mae is a terrific middle name!

    Sorry, this is just not a good idea for a name. Maybe figure something out that shady could be a nickname for, or just call her that as a pet name. It's a nice sounding word, but as a name it sounds...shady! Not good.

    Sadie

    Shea/Shay

    Shalee

    Good Suggestions. The name Shady is cute for a nickname but not a given name. Shayda is really close and very cute. And You could Use Shady all the time. I know people who have nicknames for their kids, and that's all you know them by...Which is fine. But if you Spell it I'd Suggest Shaydee Or Shayde Or something like that. The name is cute, But the meaning most people will associate with it is not.

    I agree...go with Sadie instead...can you imagine her resume one day with that name on it. She will have a hard time being taken seriously. If you love it, get a cat and name it Shady..now that's cute!!!:)

    I agree with the others Shady is not so good. I like unique names but its a little too much. What about Shayla Mae or Sadie Mae?

    Re: Weird name?

    My niece is called Shadiya (pronounced Shay-dee-ya). But NO ONE calls her that because she hates it.
    We call her Shae which she likes so I would say go with that or Sadie which is beautiful.
    Love the choice of Mae as a middle name though so would say Sadie Mae as Shae Mae is too similar.
