I'm not even pregnant,just wondered what you thought of the name for a baby girl
It was my gran's name, and just been thinking I would like to use it. My niece already has it as a middle name.

A very popular middle name round here

i like it, although it was my dads ex wifes name and i feel ever so slightly disloyal in saying that!

Love it and so does DP and it would have been our choice if we'd had a girl but it sounds rubbish with DP's surname.
I think it's very pretty and simple. I prefer the May spelling to Mae too.

I prefer the Mae spelling.

I really like it,unfortunately every other girl seems to be named Mae something or something Mae and it sounds the same as May. Now Mia on the other hand.... Smile

Very pretty name, but much used as a middle name here. Lily May and Ruby May and Ellie May all over the place.
I still like it though.

I don't know any one who has it for a first name, but yes lots of middle names

Its beautiful, my dd has May as a middle name, it is popular, but she was born in the month of May, so I felt I had good reason.

My friend's girl was born in May but is called April Confused

I know a May, she herself thinks it's an old-lady name but I like it.
