[Opinions] Fay vs Faye
Replies
I prefer Fay. The 'e' looks tacked on to me, and it takes the pretty away.
I prefer Fae. I also like Fé.
Fay is neater, tidier, easy to pronounce and unambiguously feminine, so there's no need at all to stick on a gratuitous -e.
I like Faye more, it looks more feminine.

I'm not sure I'd even consider Fay the original spelling since it derives from "faie" anyway. I prefer Fey or Faye myself. Something about Fay seems too airy to me.
I'm not a fan of the Extra Feminine Unnecessary E attached to anything. I like Fay as it is!
