May
in reply to a message by Lily
May makes me think of may trees and pink-and-white blossom, spring picnics and white muslin dresses - and yet the shortness of it gives it a certain strength, it's pretty but not frilly.
I knew an elderly May when I was small, but haven't met any since.
I prefer May 1000x over Maisie: see this post - http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/4213450

Wow! I mean I don't pronounce Macy and Maisie the same but still. Especially all the hyphenated names. Funny how it doesn't even make the top 1000 in the US.

This is probably to blame for part of the Maisievalanche - Maisy Mouse, it's a kids' book series and I think also a cartoon. Though why you would want to name your kid after a cartoon mouse beats me!

Thank you!I couldn't remember for the LIFE of me why Maisie bugged me so much. This is the mouse I grew up with. It's my only association with the name and I just can't stand it on a kid, but I couldn't figure out why for the longest time!Intense relief. :D Thanks.
