Thoughts on May as a first name?

It's very common as a middle name, would that put you off?

I dislike the hyphenated versions e.g. Rosie-May etc., and worry they take the shine off the name, for me.

Otherwise, I think it's a very beautiful, simple, sophisticated name which reminds me of Spring and nature.

Love it. When I was growing up, we had 2 'aunties'. They were called Grace and May. They were such lovely ladies, and whenever I hear either of these names, I think of them.

I think it's gorgeous. I used to know a sibling set called James, George and May.
I see what you mean about the multiple Ruby-May and Ellie-May combos but usually they get shortened to the first not the second name so I don't think it does spoil May as a stand-alone name.
