[Opinions] Fay, Fae, Faye?
It seems the name Fay has been popping up recently, and I'm thinking about adding it to my favorites for a girl. Which spelling do you prefer? According to BtN it looks like they all derive from Fay, but I kind of like Fae and Faye.
WDYT?

I LOVE Fae, it's my favorite. I haven't seen it spelled like that!!

I like all three ... Fae best, followed by Fay, then Faye

I like Fay.
The truth is hard to swallow when your choking on your pride.
I LOVE the name, and I prefer Faye :-)

I much prefer Faye. It looks more complete to me.

I like Faye; it looks nice and balanced to me. Fae looks icky (too close to the OMGMAGICKALFAERIES!!11eleventy), and Fay just seems a bit short. I have a weird weakness for Fei, but that's probably best left alone. ;)

I like Faye. :)
Where is the name popping up? Where you live? I haven't seen it on this board, hardly, and it's never in my local birth announcements.
I don't care for it. It's a very weak sounding name to me. If I had to choose a spelling, it'd be Faye.

It's mentioned in three or four current threads on this board, including Silvie's post from today with the combo Athena Fae. Also, I saw my SIL's grandmother Faye at a baby shower yesterday, so maybe I'm thinking of that as well.
I didn't mean that it's being used a lot for babies, just that I've been seeing it.
