User Comments about the name Fay
Comment left Nov 15, 2009: "I'm a male named Fay, born in the 1930s. I've met about 40 others in my life. Mostly older. There was a period when Lafayette was a very "patriotic" name and both "Fay" and "Lafe" were short derivitives. Just met a young woman clerk yesterday who said her Grandfather was named Fay. I wouldn't name a guy child Fay today. Fay Vincent didn't get famous enough and Fay Jones was a unique architect. It embarasses people who see the name and just 'expect' the person they see will be a woman. When young, there were guys named Fran (Tarkinton), Shirley, Kay, etc. Today "Jan's" have the same problem." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 27, 2009: "My oldest brother was named Fay. He was born in 1938 in Louisiana. I have never heard of another man named Fay, however my mother said she found the name in a U. S. Marines yearbook and liked it. My brother did not like it so much I think. His middle name was Allen and we usually called him Fay Allen. As a grown man his friends called him Al."

Comment left Dec 08, 2006: "My name is Spelled F-A-Y-E pronounced the same way as Fay. Fay seems to me like its missing something. It seems so short and unfinished. I love my name, I am 22, and yes the older generations love that name. Its an older name but I think it has a lot of something special. Character. The names nowadays are so plain, jennifer, and amanda, it seems that we need more names like mine and others like it. I have met several people with my name, some older and a couple my age. but not in between. weird huh. I was always a bright and cheerful child and loved to make friends. So the name definately has a good follwing in my opinion, I am also Irish and German. but I am not sure if it had to do with me getting my name." (Report as inappropriate)

I am German, my girlfriend French and our daughter Irish (born in ireland), we need a name which can easily pronounced in French/English/Gaelic and German - Fay it was. We are very happy."
