I'm Chinese-Australian, and I've seen a few people with that name. I think it's perfectly fine on someone who's not Asian, as long as you pronounce it 'May' (in Chinese it has a slightly different tone. I can't really explain it). As an alternate spelling for May/Mae, I think it's okay. Personally I don't actually like it much on Asians, because in Chinese 'mei mei' is the word for younger sister, so it just feels like you're calling someone 'sister' all the time. To me, anyway, with my limited knowledge of Chinese (I probably shouldn't have slept through those lessons my parents made me attend when I was younger).
