Help[Opinions] Re: May or Mae? (more, please read)
in reply to a message by Perrine
May, all the way!
May is a family name, with that spelling. I like it as a full name in its own right, and I don't particularly associate it with either the month or the flowering plant. And May is the end of autumn where I live, for what that's worth.
Mae looks faux-mediaeval and needlessly fussy. I associate it with American bearers; don't think I've ever encountered it outside a US context.
