Faye?

[maggiethemagpie]

What do you think of the name Faye? Is it a winner or a loser? It seems to be one of those names which is always around, never in the top 20 but never desperately out of fashion either.

Very nice, proper name and not too common.

I like it. But probably not if you have a one syllable surname. It's pretty and not too popular.

I know a 1 year old, Faye. Personally I'm not keen...I find it very 80's but it does sound pretty. Maybe just have bad associations.

Much nicer as a middle name IMO

It's a bit 80's and a bit wishy washy.

A lovely name, but I prefer it without the "e".

I like it a lot. It's simple, timeless, classless and very pretty. It's my favourite F girl's name.

Agree with squoosh as always.

It's very dated and a bit of a non-event of a name.

love it would have it without the 'e' though

I'm not keen, I agree with what others have said about it being a bit dated.

For some reason I really like it with the e but not without - suprising seeing as pronounced the same but in my head it somehow seems different without the e!

It's my sister's name, we have a one-syllable surname, but totally different sound, so does work ok. Although I tend to think of it as being fairly uncommon, she had another one in her tutor group at secondary school.

Not keen, agree with others, dated.

I prefer Freya.

I do know a very lovely adult Fay (without the e) who is elegant and very nice and I think of it as a very graceful name - I don't know if that's because it reminds me of her. It is a pretty sound.

It's my dds middle name. She's 22 though, so I'm not sure it's entirely up-to-the-minute. I like it though, obviously.

I like it. Don't think of it as being dated at all.

Love it.

I know someone who is Fay short for Frances. I like both!

So weird squoosh I was able to write exactly that!

I love it. I know one 2 year old and two 30 year olds with the name. Best with a long/mid length surname.

It's on my short list. I think of it as a very 20s name. It's more unusual (not common) but nice normal if that makes sense. I love the meaning too

Marnie - as in people in their 20s now have this name? or 1920s?

I love it spelt fae.
