No, it wouldn't. I actually know a girl named Yve. When you think about it
Brooke,
Paige and
Skye are all misspelled words and they all look fine to me. Also
Mae is, as I said, legit and a diminutive of
Margaret with a really long history, so I don't see how it has anything in common with Eev.
I get what she wants to say and it's fine that she prefers
May over
Mae. I just wanted to let her know that
Mae has a separate history from being a word, in case she didn't know.
