I too really enjoy May. I think I like the down-home simpleness of Mae even more - it seems oddly edgy and urban, like the names Betsy and Betty are becoming in my mind. It also helps to downplay the association of May as a word (as in "May I...") which I find difficult to disentangle myself from.

Maybelle / May Belle is very sweet, almost chokingly so, which I am starting to think is a new trend these days - super over the top girly names seem to be making quite the waves. I think if you like May + Belle, you might as well just smush them together and go with Maybelle nn May. Double first names are even more saccharine-sweet to me, so it would be total overkill in my mind.

Combos! May is a toughie, I always find I get bamboozled by one-syllable names. Let me see.

Ok now I am totally digging May too. It is such a sweetheart of a name. Well done, you. I am really liking it paired with M and P names, there is something so fairy-light about it.
