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
I thought the exact same thing... sorry charlotte :):
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
My name is Lily-Mae and DD is Isla-Mae...so yeah ;)
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 :)
DD's middle name is May, it was her great-great-grandmother's name so I didn't consider changing it. That said, I do prefer May ;)
I know 3 little girls with Mae as either first or middle name. I haven't comeacross it spelt may as a name

I prefer Mae, not sure why, just personal preference :).
Mae all the way for me. It is a name that means a lot to me.
Mae :)
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?
I like May but I luuurve Mae!
I think Mae is beautiful :)
I love Mae. Looks less like the month and more Mae West style.
Good luck!
Another one here who prefers Mae. If I had of had a girl I considered using Mae for its middle name. Spelling it that way for the reasons that have already been mentioned.
I prefer May
I prefer Mae for a middle name.
