[name_f]Mae[/name_f] has a more serious vibe, so I would go with [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. c:

Thanks for voting! I’m really surprised that more people have said [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] so far. I was predicting this poll would go the other way.

[name_f]Maisie[/name_f], 100%! I loathe the [name_f]Mae[/name_f] spelling, it just drives me crazy, but even spelled [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]'s a winner for me.

[name_f]Mae[/name_f], nn: [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], is what I would do.

[name_f]Mae[/name_f] would look professional on a resume :).

I prefer [name_f]Mae[/name_f] for a first name because I believe that it ages betters.

Megan_Janaya · July 3, 2014, 3:59am

[name_f]Mae[/name_f], but I would spell it [name_f]May[/name_f]. It looks so much better.

I feel [name_f]May[/name_f]/[name_f]Mae[/name_f] will age better than [name_f]Maisie[/name_f].

I voted [name_f]Mae[/name_f], because it’s more ‘grown-up’ & professional.

If I was to go with [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], I would spell the nickname as ‘[name_f]Mai[/name_f]’.

FN Maebry, NN [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or Masie.

I also like [name_f]Merry[/name_f], Merrivale. Merriweather, Mayfair and [name_u]Marian[/name_u] as FNs.

Sorry, but I couldn’t choose between [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] as FNs. Good luck !!

I totally agree with this. I don’t get why [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is such an appealing spelling [name_f]May[/name_f] is so much prettier but I really like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f].

I always go for longer names with cute nickname possibilities. S, I’d choose [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] with [name_f]Mae[/name_f] as a very easy nickname choice.

sarab.cook · July 3, 2014, 6:30am

I agree! [name_f]Mae[/name_f] sounds more substantial/complete than Masie which I would assume is a nickname for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f]…

mermuse · July 3, 2014, 6:34am

I voted for [name_f]Mae[/name_f] because it seems more serious, as others said.

boyandgirl · July 3, 2014, 9:30am

I adore [name_f]Mae[/name_f]! It’s soft, sweet, and feminine. I am middle of the road on [name_f]Maisie[/name_f].

elisabeth_rae · July 3, 2014, 10:04am

Definitely [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. It’s so sweet. I don’t like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] on a birth certificate, but it’s fine as a nn.
