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.

Well thank fuck someone’s pointed this out 10 years too late.

Where is Fay a boy's name? Certainly not in the UK.
And why post this ten years late?

Lovely name.

Faye.

I love it and have known people with both spellings so I don’t think there’s a ‘wrong’ answer!

I much prefer Fay, but Faye seems to be used more.
I remember Fay Lucas on Grange Hill, and there's Fay Weldon.

I think I slightly prefer Faye and would have spelt it that way if someone asked me to write it down (before seeing this).

Faye for a first name, Fay for a middle.

How do even find a ten year old thread?

Fay/e is 12 now and probably slamming her bedroom door in annoyance at this very moment. Or messaging her friend about Harry Styles.

Faye
