Help[Opinions] Mae
in reply to a message by Lily
Reason: because I love making combos with Maeve as the mn that I can use Mae as a nn with the front name....eg Eirlys Maeve nn Aerie Mae, Aderyn/Adelie/Adelaide/Adara/Adeline Maeve nn Addie Mae etc. And Mae seems the more natural shortening of Maeve (as opposed to May, that is) so I've grown accustomed to that spelling.
That and my favourite beach on Koh Samui, where we lived for 3 months, was Mae Nam beach. So I love Mae because it reminds me of that.
All that being said, I do love May too. It's my favourite month, and reminds me of flower-covered alps and spring sunshine after a hard winter. I just like Mae a little more.
I'd assume May, because thats all I've seen IRL.
See above for the images I get with each name. Mae = beach, summer, tropical paradise, sand between my toes. May = swiss alps in the spring, alpine flowers, warm sunshine, days lazing by the lake in the sun, fresh grass. So ether way, can't go wrong :)
First name = none
Middle name = off the top of my head I can't think of one, but I know I've heard it many times.
Heck no. To me that makes it more attractive as a fn. Going against the trend.
I like Maisie, although to me Mais is a more natural shortening. I do think May (however you want to spell it) would work as a nn however, and get you both names. I also think the other way round (May nn Maisie) would work too. My friend calls her girl Monet Monet-sy (Monay-see) sometimes. I think nns can be pretty flexible like that.
I do slightly prefer Mae/May because it feels fresher, less cutesy and like it would age better. But I like Mae, May and Maisie.
