I like May with that spelling. Mae doesn't appeal.
Abigail does less than nothing for me; it comes across as drab and flabby.
Douglas is good! Seldom seen, for some reason.
Amanda ... good for her if she actually is Amanda! It's fine, but Mandy is sadly dated and juvenile.
Nancy is wonderful!
Sandy likewise, for a man. Not as a nn for Sandra.
Joyce lacks charm, but Joy is definitely one of the better abstract-virtue names.
Jim = James, I suppose? Both are excellent.
