HelpRe: Mae vs May (m)
in reply to a message by humblebee
I think Mae is a US speciality; I've never seen a Mae in South Africa or the UK, but there are plenty of (elderly or extinct) May people in both.
I like May, and would use it given enough daughters, which one never is. I wouldn't like Mae at all: it gives me the same impression of needless, frilly fussiness that I get from Isabelle but not from Isabel. I think of May as a flower rather than a month, and fiddling with the spelling would be like turning Rose into Rohz.
