May. I like it, its very sweet :)

May

Because it's a good month :) Just starting to be summery.

I like the name May, as a fn or mn.

I prefer it as a fn. Being a one-syllable name it's easy to stick it in the middle and be done with it, but Mae/May deserves a chance to shine as a fn.

---

I slightly prefer Mae to May.

Yikes this is so hard for me because I LOVE the name May and both spellings. To me it makes a lovely first or middle name. The spelling , to me, depends on the name to go with it. I think May makes a better first name and Mae makes a good middle name.

I love Mae and May as a fn and mn. I like both spellings equally so I usually judge on how it looks with the mn when written

I love it as a mn and I'm becoming more and more interested in it as a fn. Mae is my fave spelling, it just looks nicer to me for some reason.

It's a cute. I think I prefer the spelling of Mae to May.

Mae

I prefer Mae. It's a family name for me, the spelling is more attractive to me, and also less likely to be confused with the word or month.

---

It's very cute as a first name : )

May

---

Mae always looked 'hillbillyish' to me. May could be really pretty as a first name, if paired with the right middle name

I really don't like it. It's much better as a middle name.

---

Mae looks trashy to me and May just reminds me of the word.

Middle name, and definately Mae.

Middle name, and definately May.

I'm not a fan of it as a first name, but it makes a pretty spunky middle name. I think I slightly prefer the Mae spelling, but it would be nice either way :-)

May has been my absolute favorite girl name for a long, long time. Spelled that way, but I'll accept Mae too. Love this name!

May for a first name, Mae for a middle

---

I'd use Mae because it's a family name and after Mae West, but overall. I like it as I sated above.

I love Mae as a first name. I think it has a lot of spunk to it--retro and 1940s and goodness and stuff.

---

May is fine, too, but it feels more sweetly old-fashioned than saucy throwback. I think of Louisa May Alcott.

---

I tend to prefer Mae, and tonight is no exception.

Mae is very much growing on me. I don't think I'd use it, but I think it's adorable as a fn or mn.

---

as you can tell, I prefer the Mae spelling. I think it looks prettier and differentiates it from the month of May. it's just more a name in my mind.

I adore Mae as a fn. It's one of those names usually relegated to the mn position, like Marie or Lynn. I love seeing those used as fns.

---

I prefer Mae, because "may" is a verb / auxiliary to me.

I prefer the spelling Mae.

I love it! I like both spellings but ever-so-slightly prefer May.

I like it better as a middle name, I prefer Mae or Maye :)
