[Opinions] Fay
One of my fay-vorite names (sorry). No, I don't like it with an 'e' on the end, so don't suggest it. WDYT?

I love the sound of Fay, although it's my third (maybe fourth) favourite spelling. Fae's my favourite, then Fey, then Fay and Faye are pretty much joint. But I just like the connection to faeries, which sounds kind of wishy-washy, but I really like the folklore, and dark side of supernatural stuff in general. I've gone off on a bit of a tangent, but, yeah, it's one of my favourite names.
I really like this name too! (Though I prefer it with an 'e' on the end :P)
Fay is a beautiful, classy name.
I love it as a middle name, but I like Faye better.
Aw, My favourite all time name. If I ever have a female child I'm naming her this. I can remember liking Fay since I was a toddler! To me it's simple but elegant. Goes well with a lot of other names. Unusual for children but not unheard of. I couldn't suggest it enough, I just hope it doesn't become super popular :P
I go back and forth on the spelling between 'Fae' and 'Fay" . The Faye spelling seems unnecessary but I don't hate it.

Aw, I do like the extra e- but I also like pretty much any variation on this name.
I really, really like Fay. It's so simply yet quirky and the meaning gives it whimsy. I would use it in a heartbeat if DH hadn't vetoed it years ago.
I especially love when I see it as a first name and not relegated to the middle, though it does shine nicely in the middle spot as well.
Faye Melisande was one of my top GPs for a while, but Fay Melisande would be just as lovely.

I do agree about the -e, and I shudder at Fae. So far, so good.
I've only ever known one Fay, and she was large and bossy. But, I know a Tessa Fay who's dainty and beautiful and a very talented pianist, which is a whole lot better!
I think that if you know or suspect that you might have a child with a particular temperament or physical features, it is wise to avoid names like Beauty or Modesty etc.

I really like Fay, I do like it with an e whether as Fae or Faye, but Fay as it is I like a lot, people think its a bit old fashioned but I like it.

People think it's trashy? I've heard "old lady", but not trashy. Huh.
I've met people who think it's a porn star name or a stripper name, that sort of thing. It's a shame D:
That...weirds me out. I work in a care home, and we've had a couple of Fay/Fayes over the years. They were both in their 80's. :/
Faye used to have a vibe of a chain-smoking, uber-thin, bleach-blond old lady living in a trailer park... at least in my area.
Fay never had the vibe for me.
Plus, I think the trailer park stereotypes are getting weaker and weaker for all names. Besides, I know plenty of fantastic people who live in trailer parks anyway, and they never fit a trashy feel.
