HelpMae (m)
in reply to a message by Lily
I prefer Mae. She's young and adventurous. May sits around wearing a lace shawl and makes doilies.
However, if I met someone with the name, I'd assume it was the May spelling until and unless told otherwise. I guess it just seems the more common spelling to me.
I had a great-aunt named Mae or May, but to tell you the truth, I'm not sure which spelling it was! She was my maternal grandfather's sister. She was born in the early 1900s. I have never known anyone else with the name, first or middle.
I never think that the fact that a name is common in the middle name spot makes it any less attractive in the first name spot. For example, Rose as a middle name makes me want to stick my head in a hole, but I love it as a first name.
Definitely prefer Mae to Maisie. Maisie is way cutesy.
