Mae works particularly well with long/complicated last names
Meri is a classic version of the old English name Merry
Just like Gay at one time used to be a first name
Google it. It is even an ethnic name with different meanings and not as uncommon as you think

Mae Rose was Angelica Houston's character in Prizzi's Honor. I love that film.

There is something wrong with you.

Why Mae and not May?

I really like Mae. With a one syllable first name, I think that it is pretty to have a multi-syllable middle name.

How about Mae Elizabeth?

Why don't you do yourself a favor and get over your classism?

Ending classist prejudice would be much more beneficial to society than refraining from naming your kids Mae or Lynn.

Love it, but I would use a multi-syllable name for a middle name. Mae Lila, Mae Bella, etc.
