Mai is also used as a masculine name in Japanese. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine". Some evidence for this is that Mai is also used as a name element in unisex and masculine Japanese names such as Maisuke, Maihito, Maihitoshi, and Maihiko.Sources: https://forebears.io/forenames/mai

This name is not pronounced like mah-ee in Japanese. It's pronounced similar to "my" but obviously not so American. The letters ai together make a unique sound. (Of course they don't separate the vowels from the consonants and the katakana is one character, with the m.) This happens a lot with names that end with I (though you must remember that this is transcribed into English letters.) Names like Rei aren't pronounced Reh-ee either, it's more like "ray" like a ray of sunshine.
In Japanese, it is pronounced mah-ee. However, to English speakers, the name will sound like MIE ("my").
