[Opinions] Mae
in reply to a message by Lily
I think of May as a month and Mae as a name. Also, my great-grandmother's MN was Mae and my sister's after her.
I wouldn't assume the spelling, but ask straightaway.
I know many people with May or Mae as a MN. Upwards of 10. I also know an Anna MaeRose who goes by Mae.
The more common it is as a MN, the more I want to see it as a FN!
I think Mae is very attractive and I would consider using it (possibly as a nickname for Mary). Maisie sounds too flimsy for my taste.
