Re: May or Gwen? (more)
I'd pick Gwen. Gwenaelle is good. I like May Gwenaelle. The -elle makes Gwenaelle softer than a lot of other Gwen names so it fits more with May. I think May is the best spelling for Gwenaelle. Mei is good too, but it's younger, cuter, and brighter. Gwenaelle is too heavy for Mei.
I don't like Mae, it's a little too kitschy for me. May = spring and summer, flowers and plants, goddesses and mythology and festivals, country in an old-school kind of way.
Mae = country in a newer and cheesy way, gingham, straw hats, someone's aunt who lives on a farm baking pies or a little girl running around with the chickens. This makes it sound cute and pastoral, which it is, but it also has a more corny vibe to me when compared to May. Like a cartoon of country cuteness with dumb exaggerated accents.
