HelpRe: May
in reply to a message by findthesea
It's not just a word name, Mae is a diminutive of Margaret, Mary and Mabel. Kind of like Eve which is a word but also has a meaning and history.

But if Eve was spelled Eev, it'd (possibly) bug you because it's also a word name and you just violated that wordiness. That's all findthesea is saying.

No, it wouldn't. I actually know a girl named Yve. When you think about it Brooke, Paige and Skye are all misspelled words and they all look fine to me. Also Mae is, as I said, legit and a diminutive of Margaret with a really long history, so I don't see how it has anything in common with Eev.
I get what she wants to say and it's fine that she prefers May over Mae. I just wanted to let her know that Mae has a separate history from being a word, in case she didn't know.
