May, Mae or Mai

[TempletonTreeThorpe]

I lean towards May but not sure if it feels like a "full" name if that makes sense. OH wants to include it as a tribute to his GM, but would accept it as a middle name if not a first name. I have no idea what works with it though.

Any thoughts? Don't want anything too odd (if that's not a rude thing to say)

How did GM spell it?

I'd go for May. It's a short, sweet 'full' name in itself, not a shortening. It's lovely.

It would make a refreshing change to use it as a first name as it usually ends up as a middle name these days.

You'd probably need a longer name as a middle name.

Definitely not Mai. That’s awful.

Or May?...

May was his GM but her proper name was Mary-Jane. Middle name suggestions?

Silly auto correct! Maya!

I really like May - it was on our list too.

I think Mai is pronounced “my” isn’t it? As in a Mai Thai cocktail?

May

Mai is not a spelling I've ever heard of

I know a Katie-mae, I think that sounds nice.

Maya is nice

Something a little longer as a middle think May Alexandra, May Elizabeth, May Jessamine...

God don't double barrel it unless you are a Country singer

May

May.
It's lovely as it is.

Agree with Not.
May is lovely.

Mai is Welsh and pronounced my.

May

koalab

Aaah. That's nice

May

That's what his GM was called and it's far and away the nicest option

Love May.

I like May best.

May.

definitely won't be double barrelling, no fear.

I think I am set on May now. Not sure about middle name though, or whether to have one or not.

Is Mai a Welsh name? I teach a few (in Wales) and I read it as My, not May/Mae.

I like May by itself
