Comments for the name Faye

Famous bearer actress Faye Dunaway.

I've always seen the meaning of Faye to be "a little fairy" or just "fairy" in general.

There is a novelist named Faye Kellerman.

I love the name Faye, I think it's so gorgeous. It's a great middle name too. Like Audrey Faye. I think it sounds so elegant! It also reminds me of Faye Dunaway, and then it reminds me of Joan Crawford since she played her in Mommie Dearest. Otherwise, I think it's cute.

Pretty, much better than the spelling Fay.

Sort of a famous bearer: Faye Tourney, British soldier who was held in Iran.

My daughter's middle name is Faye and she absolutely loves it. She says when she becomes famous, she'll drop her surname and only use her first and middle. LOL.

I think this name is really cute. I used it for a character in one of my many stories!

Faye is a special name to me, not only is it my middle name (Amanda Faye) but also my mom's and my late grandmother's. The French meaning is fairy, the Irish-Gealic meaning is raven. I even went by Faye for a few years because of how common my first name is. I love the name, it just has a sweet southern sound to it.

Chinese singer Faye Wong is a famous bearer.

The character Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop is a famous bearer.

This isn't a bad one-syllable name, but it has rather been ruined by all the associations to dimwitted trailer trash and country girls, for whom this is a very common middle name.

Huh. I really like this name WITH an E than without.

I believe there was a woman named Faye (or maybe Fay) Fuller, I think her last name was, who climbed Mt. Rainier and became very famous as the first woman to attempt such a *gasp* scandalous thing. Morgan le Fey (or Fay, if you prefer) was also a famous, if mythical, bearer of the name.

Faye with an "e" is also my middle name, and while I didn't care for it as a child, I love it now. Mine derives from women on both sides of my family, and I think it is beautiful, both in meaning and sound. It works well as a middle name in many cases. I like the added "e."

This is a name that a girl could grow into as she gets older. I definitely don't associate it with country girls. Must be a dumb British thing.

Faye is just the softest sounding name that there is.

This sounds weird, but I prefer this as a boys name.
