May?

[Flossie2]

Lovely girls name or a bit boring? I don't know any so hopefully not really popular. THanks

[AngelDelightIsIndeedDelightful]

I think it's lovely. I wouldn't say it was boring, but perhaps a little safe.

[m1nn1em0u5e]

I think its lovely :)

[brodanbell]

a bit boring IMO. To me it's that good old middle name staple that goes with everything a bit like Jane and Louise have been in the past (maybe still are who knows!) How about Maya to make it slightly more interesting.

[SenoritaViva]

I always think, 'or may not'. Sorry, my own quirk.

I really like May. Not Maya - as a teacher I see more and more Mayas but no Mays. May is lovely.

[Cereal]

Very pretty, and underused as a first name :)

[MelinaM]

I like it, a lovely classic name, and the bonus for me is that it cannot be shortened

[magicmelons]

May is lovely, i know a lovely adult called May, she is a real lady.

[challengedanneka]

It's a very pretty name

[icantthinkofausername]

Prefer it as a middle name :)

[seaweed74]

I like it spelt Mae. Know a really lovely little girl called Mae.

[TangerineQueen]

Plus she'll be top of the class when it comes to writing their names as is nice and short!

I love it. Everyone knows it, but it's gorgeous and rarely used as a 1st name.

I'd love it if our surname was long enough to take it!

[brodanbell]

'I'd love it if our surname was long enough to take it!'

How short is your surname? Mae West did quite well with it?!? I think its quite snappy with a one syllable surname.

[TarquinGyrfalcon]

I think it's lovely as long as your short surname isn't Day

[mumofbumblebea]

May is lovely! especially with the traditional spelling

[MelinaM]

Mae is an awful spelling, Mai is marginally nicer but May is definitely the best

[mathanxiety]

I agree it is much nicer than Maya, and the May spelling is my favourite. Looks like a real name and not a cocktail (Mai tai) or Mae West. I like it far more as a first name than as a second.
