May...simple, sweet, vintage, beautiful. I’d love to see a little girl named May, or, even better, have one of my own. I’d consider it as a nickname for Mabel or Mavis, names I love, or just as a lovely stand-alone. I’d also use it to honour my mother who has a similar name.
It makes a lovely first name. I prefer this spelling to Mae or Mai - they just look like misspellings to me. I know SO many girls my age with May/Mae/Mai as a middle name - it’s as common as Rose in my area. That’s why I prefer Rose and May as first names, sweet and beautiful in their simplicity.
May is a sweet old-fashioned name, fresh and springlike. While it's quite a common middle name, I also love it as a first name, or a nickname for Mary or Margaret.
In 2018, 85 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) May who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 566th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.
I like May. It's sweet, and girly, and a flower name. Also I'm not against the fact that it is a month name. It looks way more elegant than Mae for me. But oh my God it's so overused as a middle name. I mean, it really fits with almost any name, but sometimes when I see that so many people have May as their middle name, I get the impression that their parents just didn't have any other, more original idea. Although I like when May is part of a double name, either as first or middle, or of a hyphenated name, or a nickname, for Maya, Maia, Mary, Margaret... And I think it should be used more as a first name, it's so charming. But not without any middle name, it's so short it that should be followed by something in my opinion.

May Fung Yee Pang is an American, best known as the former girlfriend of John Lennon. She had previously worked as a personal assistant and production coordinator for Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono.
Both my grandmother's middle names were May/Mai, so I got Mai as a middle name as well. I like it. I think it makes a nice first name. It's pretty and retro.
Do not like it. Seems very lazy and like my wicked stepmother's name would be Miss May.. don't know why I don't like it. Simple enough, just too plain.
May is such a pretty, pretty name! It's a perfect forename and it also makes a perfect middle name for lots of combos so you really can't complain over this name! :) Arghh, I love this name so much. ♥.
May is my middle name. I'm Elly May, people always think that that is my full first name when it isn't but I like May. It was my great grandmothers name.
May Chang is a character from the manga/anime Fullmetal Alchemist as well as a bearer of this name. Her first name is variously spelled as May, Mai, or Mei.
I had a (now elderly neighbour) called May - a real livewire who had a white poodle called Remus and a white cat called Mimi and was quite unforgettable in many ways. Her sister was called Gwen and was as quiet a May was extrovert. So when I see the name May I always think (fondly)of my ex-neighbour though the name to me is a tad boring.I only like the name if it signifies the hawthorn flower and the baby is born when that flower is in bloom. The name is too blah otherwise, and Margaret and Mary are better (but not Mabel - awful frumpy name).
I really love this name; I think it'd work best as a middle name, but it sounds just as great to be used as an everyday nickname as well. Strong, feminine, and sophisticated.
This is the name of May Welland, a central character from "The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton. I think it's a little too plain to be a full name, but it sounds cute as a nickname or middle name.
Dame May Whitty (born Mary Louise Whitty) was a British actress. See her play two very different old ladies in Night Must Fall and The Lady Vanishes (among other roles).
As a general rule, I don't like month names (May, June, September, etc.). But I will admit that May can make a nice middle name. I'd never use it, though.
It's a month and very easy to remember. My personal opinion says that I like it for a middle name unless something is added to it, then I take it as a first name.
I think this name is simple and pretty, and also has a little touch of something extra about it. Because May Day is a time for fertility rituals and traditionally a time to deflower willing - or unwilling - virgins, there is something slightly sexy and illicit about it as well. It's a "still waters run deep" name.
"Our Only May Amelia" is an award-winning children's book that I read when I was young. The protagonist is a twelve-year-old girl named May Amelia (obviously). I think May Amelia is a great combination.
In Limburgish, this name is a short form of Maria and Marie. The pronunciation would be MAHY: the 'a'-sound is slightly different than in the English pronunciation. It's similar to the 'ah' in 'aha' (as in: "Aha! I found something!").
A famous bearer of this name (as a surname) is Brian May. He was the guitarist from the band Queen. He wrote many of the band's songs, including hits like We Will Rock You, Fat-Bottomed Girls, Save Me, and other, more obscure songs like Father to Son, Keep Yourself Alive and '39. He is notable for having created his own guitar with his father. He calls this guitar the Red Special because of its color. Personally, he's my favorite member of Queen.
Most people are saying how much they like it as a middle name but I actually prefer it as a first. It's simple and pretty and yet very rarely ever heard as a first name (well that's as far as I've heard).
I think May is such a lovely name! I'd like to have a daughter named Avril May. LOL that's like April May but Avril is much better in my opinion. Okay I'm only 13 so I have plenty of time to think about this.
I think May is a very sweet name. I know a Lauren May and a Shannon May. I think it's nice as a middle name, nicer as a first name and also as a nickname for Maia.
May was second name of writer Louisa (May) Alcott, who wrote the novel 'Little Women'. She also had a sister May, after who she made Amy March in little women.
