May

[MagsAloof]

Not for me, for friend.

Lots of middle name Mays around, but what do you think of it for a first name?

I like, but friend is interested to know what others think.

TIA

I like it as a name by iteslf, don't like it if it's preceded with Tilly, Lexie, Ellie etc.

May on its own is quite simple and elegant.

I like it, prefer it spelt this way though: Mae

I like it when I think of the month of May (always sunny!) but not as much when I think of the verb.

My own tastes incline to longer names so I would be inclined to go with Mabel or Mamie.

Lovely :)

I like it, although my first though is May from Pokemon! Blame my DD who's obsessed with the programme!

Prefer April.

I absolutely love it as a first name but not as a middle. I'd spell it Mae too.

May is delightful on its own. Mae is the American spelling,not struck on that.

Mai is Welsh for May, pronounced 'my'.

Lovely. Pretty and will do for a baby or a grown up.

I would keep it beautiful and simple and spell it May

I prefer maya

It is becoming more popular, I kow three May's under the age of four. I find it a bit dull to be honest.

Oh lord, don't spell it Mae, its really pointless and just looks stupid.

May as a first name is lovely, as a middle name, spelt Mae and preceded with 'Ellie' or similar its awful though!

I read that 'Mae' is a Scottish diminutive form of 'Margaret'. Since Margaret means 'precious', then this is what Mae means when spelled that way.

Nice. I prefer May to Mae also.

It's OK. Definitely prefer May to Mae.

I prefer May- don't like Mae.

Oh god, don't spell it 'Mae'. It looks SO stupid that way. It looks like you -

A) Want to look like you're a special snowflake for your ultra unique way of spelling simple words

or

B) Do not know how to spell simple words.

I do not know why people do this to their kids. Just no.

Ay Nizlopi steady on! It's a perfectly valid way to spell the name! 'Mae' a Scottish variant of 'May' that carries a different meaning.

Quite harsh criticism that isn't totally informed.

Mae West anyone?! I like it, with either spelling

May is lovely.
Mae awful.

We all know that the vast majority of people naming their daughters 'Mae' aren't doing it because of their links with Scotland. They're doing it because they're 'super special'

Ignorant ?and? presumptuous! Nice.

right now I'm presuming your daughter is called Mae.

As if to stress the point I've made, you are wrong.
