This is such a pretty name, but in my mind would only suit a girl that was small and petite.

I like the spelling "Faie" so much better!

It's such a beautiful name, but I wouldn't it as a name because of the invetiable Fay is gay immaturity.

Honestly I hate this name as a first name. But I love it as a middle name. My name is Katelynn Fay and I think it goes good just I couldn't imagine a girl named Fay.

Fay can be unisex. As in Fay Vincent, born Francis, the former commissioner of Major League Baseball.
