And so our fifth and final baby is here
Our beautiful fourth daughter
Our second rainbow baby
A fourth daughter
Who has four names
Her registered name will be Edith Mabel
We will mostly call her Edith
Or Edie Mae
Until we met her
We thought she would be Edith May
Or Edith Mae
But we could not decide how to spell the middle name
When she was born we talked about it
Then as I was cuddling her
I said, ‘You are small enough to be a Mabel’
Which is when David surprised me
By saying that she could be Edith Mabel
Taking away any tricky decisions about spelling
And though she is definitely Edith
I find myself calling her Edie Mae
And online she is Edie Mae
So, where did her name come from?
Our Edith Mabel
Our Edie Mae
Edith (Edie)
We all like the name Edith in our family
It is actually a strong family name
As David’s maternal grandmother and great-grandmother
Were both called Edith
I love the shortened version of Edie
Edith means Prosperous in War
So has links to William and Matilda
Which both mean Mighty in Battle
Mabel
I love the name Mabel
It is so cute and pretty
I adore the meaning
Lovable, beautiful
Seems perfect for a youngest daughter
For our last born child
Mae
Edie will carry this middle name forward
Informally
In honour of her big sister in the sky
Our Baby Tilda
Matilda Mae
We liked Mae for Tilda because it is a pet form of Mary, which is David’s mother’s name.
I also love the meaning
‘Star of the Sea’
David and I both love the sea
And Esther’s name means star
Mae is of Hebrew origin
I am glad that the name will come forward with us
And Edie Mae
Our little Edith Mabel
Our beautiful Sprinkle of Stardust
Really truly suits her name
Her names
All of them

She is beautiful and what a lovely way to carry Matilda Mae’s name forward. I love both Edith and Mabel as names too.
