Struggling for a girl's name but think I might go for Fay/e.

Which spelling do you prefer Fay or Faye and what do you think of the name generally. Thanks.

Much prefer Fay, too

Much prefer Fay

I prefer Fay. I don't see any reason to add an extra "e".

Looks like Faye gets the vote.

I agree it looks nicer just didn't want to go for any creative spelling so was thinking I should play it safe with the original which is the Fay spelling but may go for Faye now.

Faye.

I think they are both lovely. Can't decide which one I like best, sorry! I'll go with Fay to ring the changes

Faye is nicer, like Kaye is nicer than Kay.

Faye is lovely.

I really like it too, Faye looks the nicest. I do know a little girl called Faie and that is lovely.

I really like it. And I like it Faye. Looks really elegant for some reason!
