I think May is better, it just looks less rough around the edges.

My middle name is Mae and I really love it. It's very pretty, but simple. A lot of people are confused by the spelling, but you should spell the name of the month and the given name differently.

I love the name Mae, I think it makes a great middle name. Vivienne Mae or something of the sort. It's gorgeous and short. I like it better spelt this way then May.

Mae is my middle name, and I much prefer the spelling with an "e" versus a "y". MAE looks better in my opinion, MAY being far too common and modern looking. MAE reminds me of Old English spellings using 'ae' as (basically) one letter.

Mae is my middle name too, Sara Mae. I also agree with the above poster about the AE in Mae it also reminds me of Æ though it would sound like Mah if it was used, which is nowhere near as pretty as Mae. I prefer it to May also.

This is a very common middle name in the American South.

Mae is one of those filler middle names for people who don't really want to put the time into thinking of one.

-- scholasticastewart  12/19/2007

This name sounds like a generic middle name for a female redneck.

I like Mae, it's more original the May, and it's the middle name I am planning for my 1st daughter I will have.
