Help[Opinions] Re: Mae/May
in reply to a message by iris
It's so snappy and smart as Mae (Mae West brings a lot of pizazz to it), and as May, it's sweet and old-fashioned (Louisa May Alcott).
I personally prefer Mae, because it looks very 40s to me, for some reason. Maybe because I think of Madonna's character in A League of Their Own (not a bad association, heh). I can definitely see a Mae of today with a purse she made herself, cat-eye glasses, and a cute shaggy haircut--and I have to admit that that's how I judge the worth of many names. Does he or she sound like she could be geeky and cool and a little bit off-kilter? Then it's cool with me. ;) Kind of a poor way of judging, maybe, but it's one way to thin the herd.
