I love the nickname [name]Faye[/name], but I’m having trouble finding a full name for it. I’ve been considering [name]Freya[/name], but is that too much of a stretch? I’m also considering making it a double-barrel name. I like [name]Faye[/name]-[name]Ellen[/name], but am concerned that all people will hear is the word failing. Got any comments or suggestions?
Thanks!

Personally I think [name]Faye[/name] can stand alone.
I agree that [name]Faye[/name] cane stand alone! It’s short, but it’s a full name in it’s own right! I loooove the name [name]Faye[/name]! Only thing I can think of for it to be a nn for is [name]Fable[/name].
Hmm…maybe you’re right. I mean, I’m not completely against [name]Faye[/name] by itself. It just seems a little incomplete. Maybe a longer middle name will fix that. [name]Do[/name] you have any MN suggestions that would work?
[name]Hi[/name], I think [name]Faye[/name] can stand on its own as a first name. It is actually English name which means “from the fairy kingdom; a fairy or an elf”. The only problem I can see is that the word “fey” is a derogatory term for a gay person so there may be some teasing. [name]Faye[/name] can also be a nickname for [name]Fate[/name], [name]Favor[/name] or Fayme which are pretty unusual choices. Since it is one syllable, It would work better with a longer middle name.

I definitely think [name]Faye[/name] can stand on it’s own. I know a girl named [name]Fay[/name]. Her parents are big fans of Arthurian legend and [name]Morgan[/name] le [name]Fay[/name] was the sister of [name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] and a powerful sorceress. Anyway, the name, for me, is just like it’s meaning. It means fairy and to me [name]Fay[/name]/[name]Faye[/name] is light, fun and pretty. [name]Just[/name] like a fairy. I don’t think it’s too insubstantial as a name (it’s not any “less” name than [name]John[/name], [name]Nell[/name], [name]Kate[/name] or [name]Belle[/name], in my opinion). If you wanted to make it double barreled I think [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Faye[/name] and [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Faye[/name] are great. It could be a nickname for [name]Faith[/name], or [name]Phaedra[/name] ([name]FAY[/name]-dra), or [name]Fable[/name] as someone mentioned, or [name]Fabienne[/name] when pronounced [name]FAY[/name]-bee-en. Or if you want to stretch it a bit [name]Frances[/name] or [name]Francesca[/name] could work- if [name]Katherine[/name] can shorten to [name]Kate[/name] then I think [name]Frances[/name] can shorten to [name]Fay[/name].
I love [name]Faye[/name](, [name]Fay[/name], [name]Fae[/name]…) too. [name]Faye[/name]-[name]Ellen[/name] is beautiful. A while back I was trying to fit [name]Faye[/name] into my top list of names, but it never made it. I am giving my daughters double barrel names too.
[name]Faye[/name] as a first:
[name]Faye[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Faye[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name] nn [name]Faye[/name]-[name]Emme[/name] or [name]Faye[/name]-[name]Lene[/name]
[name]Faye[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name] nn [name]Faye[/name]-[name]Jaz[/name]
[name]Flavia[/name] [name]Marie[/name] nn [name]Faye[/name]-[name]Marie[/name]
[name]Faye[/name] as a second:
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Faye[/name] nn [name]Amy[/name]-[name]Faye[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Faye[/name] nn [name]Cora[/name]-[name]Faye[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name] [name]Faye[/name] nn [name]Lucy[/name]-[name]Faye[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Olive[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Zelda[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
I also like [name]Faye[/name]/[name]Fay[/name]/[name]Fae[/name] but prefer longer names so I don’t think i’d use it on it’s own.
these are kinda a stretch, but I was thinking of using [name]Fae[/name]/[name]Fay[/name] as a nn for [name]Fiona[/name]. I previously thought about [name]Rafaela[/name] too.
