I just don't like the sound much, but that's personal and irrelevant. The gay rhyme is a potential con. Maybe if combined with Morgan in some way you could get a clever play on Morgan Le Fay!

I don't think it's insubstantial. Perhaps it's a bit spritely, but I think the lightness of it is a good thing.

Ibwouldnt worry about teasing. Chances are if someone is going to be teased with gay as a rhyme they would've been teased with it anyhow regardless of their name.

I think it's going to become popular because I'm suddenly hearing it everywhere! I like it, I think it's cute. I like the combo Fae Zephyrine.

I think it's fantastic. I really like Faye as a first name.

I really, really, really don't get the appeal. Faye to me looks and sounds horrible! What on earth attracts others to it?!

May and Mae also rhyme with gay, and nobody stresses. Likewise Jay and Kay.

I find Faye a flimsy, over-decorated name, like a last-minute costume for a fancy-dress party; Fay is better because of having no novelty spellings or silent -e additions, but it's still a dictionary word. I'd never think of using it.

I love it! It's one of my favourite names and has been for a while. Sweet, gentle and elegant, but (particularly with the spelling Fae or Fey) a little dark and mysterious too. I like that it's vintage but has a link to folklore too, which adds a bit of magic. For such a short and often underated name I think there's more to it than it first appears.

I really like Faye as well. Don't think it's too unsubstantial I think it's really sweet!
