Vote on names for my daughter due in October?

Question

I told my wife I’m behind the results at Yahoo! Answers so the winning name gets a 49% say in the actual final name.

Facts - we currently have a daughter Violet and the new baby will have the middle name of Mae.

Please rank the following 1 to 7, #1 being your favorite.

Ruby Mae
Iris Mae
Grace "Gracie" Mae
Hope Mae
Cassandra "Cassie" Mae
Willow Mae
Lilly Mae

Answer 1

1. Ruby Mae - hands down! ;) Classic and adorable, all rolled up into one. I'd be slightly concerned about the color connection, but since most will think of the flower, rather than color, with Violet, I think it's safe.
2. Iris Mae - I like this just as much as Ruby, but think the floral "theme" would be a bit more obvious -- to the point of being cheesy, know what I mean? I'd avoid an obvious flower reference for that reason.
3. Willow - the first two are definitely my preferences, and the rest are a bit of a toss-up. Of those, I'm ranking Willow highest simply because it flows nicely, isn't the stereotypical "Gracie Mae" sort of name and, while a nature name, doesn't quite have the blatant floral theme.
4. Lilly Mae - obviously this DOES have that floral issue (LOL), but I still prefer it to the rest.
5. Cassandra "Cassie" Mae - I like the name ... just not feeling it as much with Violet. It has more a dark mythological feel whereas Violet is sweet, old-fashioned charm. Cassie also doesn't seem to compare here, so just not the best fit, in my opinion.
6. Grace "Gracie" Mae - too stereotypical fake beauty queen for me. LOL Grace itself is popular enough, but then to pair it with Mae ... I'm just really not liking it. I think Mae sparkles much more when paired with something less, well, typical.
7. Hope Mae - easily my least favorite. The two single-syllable names don't flow well at all, Hope doesn't seem to mesh well with Violet AND this manages to sound like an unfinished sentence. Hope may ... what? I'm curious. ROFL God help you if your last name happens to be a verb. ;)

Hope that helps.
