HelpRe: May or Mae (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
May is very Victorian. It makes me think of May blossom (which is out at the moment and making me sneeze) and all the connected folklore. I had a great great (or something) grandmother known as May, short for Mary which apparently was very common.
So for me May is sweetly old fashioned. It's horribly over used as a filler middle and a tacky hyphenated addition, but I'd love to meet someone just called 'May'
Mae is pure Vegas showgirl to me. Brassy blonde and sequinned hotpants. Plus everything I said about middle fillers and hyphens. Just a little bit trashy
