I think I prefer May but I'm not a huge fan of the name anyway.

---

A friend just named one of her twins Mai which is the French spelling of the name (although I believe there are other meanings to it as well). I don't know why they chose it. I've seen Mai used a few times in hyphenated names along with May and Mae e.g. Ellie-Mae, Lily-Mai etc.

I like the name May / Mae. It's sweet and old fashioned. I slightly prefer Mae, because it looks more "name-y" to me. Which is weird because I have no problem with August, June or April. Perhaps it's because "may" is also a word, like "I may go to the cinema".

As for combos, I like something long and/or dramatic in the middle:
Mae Clementine
Mae Albertine
Mae Aurora
Mae Valentina
Mae Rebecca
Mae Theodosia
Mae Delphina
Mae Georgiana
Mae Genevieve
Mae Philomena
Mae Cordelia

I generally prefer Mae, I just like how it looks a little more but it really depends on the overall look of the combo. I don't prefer either one strongly.

May is good but Mae looks prettier. And usually I like the correct spelling better

I prefer Mae as well

---

My combos:
Mae Elizabeth
Mae Stephanie
Mae Rose
Mae Louise

May, I would love to give this as a middle name to a future child.

Minnie May Rose?
Lindsey May Lee?

I like Mae more. It's sassier. I had a great-aunt of this name, but I'm not sure which spelling it was.

It's pretty. I prefer May. I like Mae as a mn.

May looks nicer and cleaner to me. I also want to pronounce Mae as Ma-eh rather than Ma-ee.

Mae!

Mae doesn't happen where I live: if it's used, it looks like the month. And why not? Nobody feels the need to mess with the spelling of April or June.

---

That said, I've got May aunts on both sides of my family, so that might influence me. But I really don't think so.

I like both spellings, but I would go with May because it's a family name.

---

It goes with a lot of names as a mn.
