Faye?

What do you think of the name Faye? Is it a winner or a loser? It seems to be one of those names which is always around, never in the top 20 but never desperately out of fashion either.

For some reason I really like it with the e but not without - suprising seeing as pronounced the same but in my head it somehow seems different without the e!

I'm not keen, I agree with what others have said about it being a bit dated.

love it would have it without the 'e' though

Agree with squoosh as always.

It's very dated and a bit of a non-event of a name.

I like it a lot. It's simple, timeless, classless and very pretty. It's my favourite F girl's name.

A lovely name, but I prefer it without the "e".

squoosh · 10/06/2014 14:03

It's a bit 80's and a bit wishy washy.

CPtart · 10/06/2014 12:52

Much nicer as a middle name IMO

I know a 1 year old, Faye. Personally I'm not keen...I find it very 80's but it does sound pretty. Maybe just have bad associations.

PetaPipa · 10/06/2014 12:45

I like it. But probably not if you have a one syllable surname. It's pretty and not too popular.

Very nice, proper name and not too common.
