Mae VS May

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?

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)

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

I think Mae looks pretty but I also like May.

Sorry no help am I.

Good luck

I actually am with your DH and prefer Mae.

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

Mae for sure ;)

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

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.

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

I like Mae too.

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 definitely prefer Mae to May.

Sorry Charlotte, I prefer Mae too :redface:

I'm with 3LM & your DH, May seems just like a month. Mae however is a very elegant name I reckon. It also makes me think of Mae West.

ETA: I also say it kind of differently too, like Mae is somehow posher or something :lol:

I prefer May. It's been passed down in my family but that's probably more sentimental to me. Plus it's DD's middle name. Mae to me seems like made up or something
