My name is Fay (My full name is Faylynn but I go by Fay) It’s a very pretty delicate, feminine and unique name you don’t find often it’s old but classic and I love my name.
I love this name! Along with Fae (I prefer Fae more because it's more close to the word 'Faerie') I love Fairies and Pixies all that jazz so automatically I love this name! I don't know if I would name a child it though. Having a three letter name that begins with FA can be a little risky... Still a favorite! :)
I'm so happy to hear that Fay is also a shortened form of the word faith. My name is Fay but my mother really wanted to call me Faith because it was faith that kept her going throughout her pregnancy. The doctor had told her she should not have any more children since she nearly died with my sister just before I was born. I would rather be considered a "Faith" than a "Fairy".

Fay is such a beautiful name, at least to me, a native English speaker. It sounds so soft. It is lovely. I think it's prettier as a middle name with this spelling and Fay(e) for a first name. And Fay being a word that literally means fairy. :)

It's definitely too short and simple for me in whichever spelling, but I like its Celtic-ness.
It's an okayish, short sounding name but I suppose the meaning is cute. Fay is far too simple and doesn't suit my taste, however. Tips: I would veto against the spelling "Fey" as it actually means “fated to die"! Also, be aware that the "Fae" spelling honestly looks kinda trendy and trashy. :/ In my opinion, the other variant "Faye" doesn't do the name any justice as it's a short sounding name no matter what (I would leave the unnecessary 'e' out).

Actually, I've changed my mind now. I prefer the Fae spelling over Fay and I don't think the Fae spelling looks "trashy" anymore. (I take it back.) ^^; However, I still think the "Faye" spelling is awful. D:

This is my middle name, and I love it much more then my first name. :) I'm tempted to start introducing myself as Fay but that might get confusing. :/
Honestly I hate this name as a first name. But I love it as a middle name. My name is Katelynn Fay and I think it goes good just I couldn't imagine a girl named Fay.
