Spelling: Fay or Faye?

[Kyrie]

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.

[BestCatMumEver]

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?

[RuthW]

Lovely name.

Faye.

[anotherpotoftea]

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

[KirstenBlest]

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

[LucyLoopyLu]

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

[Rhaenys]

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.
