May is my preference
Beautiful simple name. Hardly used as a standalone name.

May. I think it's sweet and pretty, but not if it's spelled Mae.

Poppy is more like a noise than a name and I think it's very twee and babyish.

Mae makes me think of Mae West. It’s a no from me.

Poppy. Never Mae or May.

May spelt that way. Poppy is a popular name, but feels a bit twee to me.
