Mae VS May

[Charlotte91]

DH is adamant that we're having Mae (middle name, not giving away the first name). I'm not a fan, I prefer May.

First name is 8 letters, 3 syllables. Not like that makes any difference.

What do you prefer? Mae or May?

[BrightSparkles]

For a middle name I would spell it May, if it was a first name id spell it mae.. (Just because I HAVE to be different LOL)

[~Hestia~]

I like Mae, my sister used this version for my niece's middle name

I think Mae looks pretty but I also like May.

Sorry no help am I.

Good luck

May. Its what I had picked for a middle name for DS if he was a girl.

[Olive]

Mae for sure

[Floweryfields]

I actually am with your DH and prefer Mae.

Just to throw another variation into the mix, I've taught a Mai which I thought was a nice variation (Asian background) - and I'm not one for odd variations. Either version you've got there look good too.

I love Mae. Not a fan of May but for some reason with an "e" on the end it's a whole different name

[LionsandBears]

Either work. Mae West is a great example of a Mae personally, I'd make the decision based on numerology, but that's just me.

[CKJ]

I have to agree with your DH, definitely prefer Mae.

[Megan]

I like Mae too.

[MrsFabuloso]

I like Mae better. Only for the fact that I don't like May because it's spelt the way the month of May is. Strange maybe, lol!! I think Mae just seems to look more like a name than the month.

That is DH's EXACT argument!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the exact same thing... sorry charlotte

[nickers]

Being that I am a fan of names with the letter y I would spell in may. I also grew uwith a girl who's first name is May, so seems right to me

Mae for me Charlotte Mine and DD's middle names are spelt this way so it is sentimental for me but my opinion is that it's a prettier/more feminine way of spelling it also.

But having said that my mother has this middle name but spelt May.

Whatever you guys can negotiate will be perfect

[Mrs O'M]

I much prefer Mae, for the same reasons as above May seems like a time of the year not so much a name, in any case, it sounds exactly the same and thats all that really matters right?
