This is such a sweet name. I think of a dark eyed girl with a windy smile and happy demeanor.

Anoter spelling of the name is MAJ which is the Swdish word for the month May. Pronounced like "mine" but without the N.

I think May is a very sweet name. I know a Lauren May and a Shannon May. I think it's nice as a middle name, nicer as a first name and also as a nickname for Maia.

I love the name May or Mae. I think I would use it as a middle name though. But it's very pretty.

-- EgYpTiAn PrInCeSs  1/17/2007

I prefer the spelling Mae.

This name is short and sweet. Very easy to remember. I like most flower names, and this is one of my favourites.

The name register I have tells me May comes from Margaretha and that means 'pearl' which I think is quite beautiful.

It can also be a nickname for Mary. My name is Mary but everyone just calls me May.

May is also an old Arabic name, no specific meaning attached.

It is a really nice name, I like it. I might name my daughter Jaidenne May.

-- MonaLisaSmile  7/2/2007

I think May is such a lovely name! I'd like to have a daughter named Avril May. LOL that's like April May but Avril is much better in my opinion. Okay I'm only 13 so I have plenty of time to think about this.

I love the name May as a middle name but not as a first. I would have my second girl be named cassandra May.

May is a pretty middle name. My mom's middle name is May.

-- annie0302  1/2/2008

Most people are saying how much they like it as a middle name but I actually prefer it as a first. It's simple and pretty and yet very rarely ever heard as a first name (well that's as far as I've heard).

A famous bearer of this name (as a surname) is Brian May. He was the guitarist from the band Queen. He wrote many of the band's songs, including hits like We Will Rock You, Fat-Bottomed Girls, Save Me, and other, more obscure songs like Father to Son, Keep Yourself Alive and '39. He is notable for having created his own guitar with his father. He calls this guitar the Red Special because of its color. Personally, he's my favorite member of Queen.

This is my last name! It's an Irish last name.

My mates think this is an old woman's name when it isn't. I love it!

-- cheeseface  6/27/2008

In Limburgish, this name is a short form of Maria and Marie. The pronunciation would be MAHY: the 'a'-sound is slightly different than in the English pronunciation. It's similar to the 'ah' in 'aha' (as in: "Aha! I found something!").

-- Lucille  10/18/2008

I find this name very nice, but simple and short. It sometimes seems like a nickname for something.

"Our Only May Amelia" is an award-winning children's book that I read when I was young. The protagonist is a twelve-year-old girl named May Amelia (obviously). I think May Amelia is a great combination.

May is one of my least favorite names. 3 letter names are sorta ridiculous.

-- italiannames  8/29/2009

Although it may (haha!) seem a bit quaint nowadays, it's very gentle and pretty - perfect for a girl born in the month of the same name.
