I prefer
May because I get a picture of the month.
May is white, pink, light blue, and red. With
Mae, it's an old lady - although I have to admit,
Mae is growing on me.
Mae is white, pink, red, and a sickly sort of yellow.
I have never met a
May (FN), but I do know a
Molly May and I know of an infant named
Mae with a twin
Grace and older sister
Sage.
If I met someone with the name, I'd spell it
May, since that's the month and that's what I think of. I think it's a lovely first name and still carries some beauty as a middle name.
Maisie, as everyone else has been saying, is pretty flimsy and cutesy.
May and
Mae are much simpler and stronger.
Two more reason I love
May are (1) because of the book "Our Only
May Amelia" and (2) because of
Louisa May Alcott. The character of
May Amelia reminded me of myself at that age: a total tomboy who didn't really fit in.
Louisa May Alcott is just, y'know, a great author.
