Mae as a first name...?

Baby not due in May so would prefer to use spelling Mae.
I know many children have May/Mae as a middle name, but what do you think of it as a first?

I also love the name Vida but have had very negative feedback. Same with Juliet :(

What do you think of Mae Vida or Mae Juliet?

Mae is lovely.

Vida is Spanish for life. If you call her Mae Vida it will sound to Spanish people as 'My Life'... which is a bit odd.

Juliet is lovely too. Mae Juliet would be the better option. ...or Juliet Mae sounds nicer, but depends on surname.

Gorgeous names, I like the spelling of it and both the middle names too though I've not heard of Vida before. Sounds lovely, like the name of a film star! Actually Mae Juliet sounds glamorous too.
