Yes, I consider them very different. I love
Mae but I hate
May. Why? Not sure but I think
Mae looks more classic, traditional & wholesome. I know
May is not a trendy spelling but a 'y'
looks trendy to me in many names. So I try to stay away from it unless it is part of the common/correct/traditional spelling of a name. Examples:
Sibyl and
Emily need their 'y's.
