[Opinions] May
in reply to a message by Lily
I prefer May because I get a picture of the month. May is white, pink, light blue, and red. With Mae, it's an old lady - although I have to admit, Mae is growing on me. Mae is white, pink, red, and a sickly sort of yellow.
I have never met a May (FN), but I do know a Molly May and I know of an infant named Mae with a twin Grace and older sister Sage.
If I met someone with the name, I'd spell it May, since that's the month and that's what I think of. I think it's a lovely first name and still carries some beauty as a middle name.
Maisie, as everyone else has been saying, is pretty flimsy and cutesy. May and Mae are much simpler and stronger.
Two more reason I love May are (1) because of the book "Our Only May Amelia" and (2) because of Louisa May Alcott. The character of May Amelia reminded me of myself at that age: a total tomboy who didn't really fit in. Louisa May Alcott is just, y'know, a great author.
