I tend to agree. I sort of understand why they might have thought that it was feminine, as there are some feminine names that follow that pattern (Ada, Ava) but it seems too masculine to me.

Mai is a family name and might actually be pronounced like "my," The family is ethnically German and the name is taken directly from the German "Mai" which is the month of May.
