About a baby not being born in May called May. I will have to keep that in mind!Do you think Mae has a more "country bumpkin" connotation to it though?

On its own, Mae doesn't strike me as a country bumpkin name. Names like Billie Mae and Annie Mae seem much more "country" to me. I think Mae would be just fine, especially with a long, feminine middle name, such as Elizabeth or Isadora.

As in Ellie-Mae? kind of. I prefer May.
Actually, I don't associate it with being born in May, though no reason not to used it, if a child was. Mai(French) is used now and then in combination with Marie, as-Marie-Mai, May being the month especially honouring the Virgin Mary. (I live in a strongly Roman -Catholic community.)
